"Obama has lectured us continually on the need to "invest" in education, warning that China and others are outpacing us. But in Wisconsin yesterday, more than a thousand teachers walked out of their classrooms or called in "sick." Many exploited the children under their supervision by taking them to these demonstrations. And our president, who says he cares so much about the kids, can't utter one word to urge these teachers to get back into the classroom.
Wisconsin is not alone in facing tough financial decisions. But according to multiple press reports there are union protests now in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, with more union unrest planned in Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We watched as left-wing unions took Greece to the verge of anarchy. But the commentators assured us that such things wouldn't happen here. Thanks to the unions, they are happening now."
