Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

[Riot]

The 25,000 people marching on the capital of Wisconsin are greater than those trying to overthrow the government of Bahrain.

Union busting - having nothing to do with balancing any state budget - was a 2012 election planning goal passed out the last meeting of the Republican Governors Conference. Take out the unions to try and disaffect democratic voter turnout in 2012. It has already started in other states, with other Republican govs trying to sneak union-dissolving legislation through like Walker did last week.

But the best part is how the Democrats "fled across the state line to Rockford" to prevent a union-busting vote. You go, guys!

Yes, this is gonna be a great election cycle for the political geeks

His recall can't be requested until he's had one year in office, but apparently the signatures are already being collected for submission.

Yes Democrats have never been involved in union-busting tactics.




Now we go back to our regularly scheduled feigned outrage from Derkatits.

LOL - nobody ever said the Dems didn't do it

The subject is what is going on in Wisconsin now, and the RGA.

The students who were clueless as to why they were there. But at least it's hopefully a start on learning how to be a good citizen

Brainwashing of a Generation. The teachers didn't bother to educate the students about the issue at hand, they just told them what to do. Nice teaching job don't ya think?

The kids should be taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think. It's their future. Selfish move by the "teachers".

That should have started LONG before High School. They prove the point that teachers aren't doing the job they are being paid for.

I agree. But they don't teach thinking anymore.

There were a couple high school students interviewed on TV yesterday (you're a student, why are you here thing), they spoke clearly and concisely about what the issues were, and gave their opinions. I would have been very proud of them if they were my kids. So their teachers did their job very well.

You don't need much for a good teacher to teach reading and math in K-5.

But home schooling, vouchers, and cutting educational budgets isn't going to help.

School districts get per diem for every uninterested kid they can put in the seats. I know great teachers in mid-thirties that are so burned out....they can hardly bear it with all the politics and bs they face every day

[SOREHOOF]

Throwing more money at Education isn't going to make things better. Politically correct, whitewashed, and racial slur corrected history lessons won't cut it. Editing the word nigger out of "Tom Sawyer" won't make the word go away. Listened to any Rap music lately?

I think some teachers in some districts get it from three directions: administration, disinterested parents who refuse to raise kids that take responsibility for themselves, and mouthy lazy kids. No Child Left Behind ended up doing harm, not good. That was a shame.

But look what the school board is doing in Wake County, North Carolina: they are deintegrating incredibly successful schools.

When the Govt. meddles in things they usually don't get better. Just more expensive.
