Fire Drills In Summer

Today there were “organized” walk outs by students in the La Crosse county public schools in support of teachers. Does anyone buy that? Students standing up for teacher’s rights. I just can’t imagine this being a significant motivator, at least not beyond the typical emotional level that only serves to confuse the issue.

Anyone who was ever a student knows that at least 90% of these kids are just taking any excuse to get out of classes for an hour or a day, and could care less what the reason is. I would have been the same way. The fact that teachers are encouraging this behavior is truly troubling, and speaks to the high degree of institutional indoctrination to liberalism going on in public schools. More than ever Wisconsin schools are little more than converted sausage factories for grinding out liberals. Of course they are in desperation mode now that the writing is on the wall. It’s like when a dictator is about to be deposed and he fires every missile he has because he knows he can’t take them with him – the unions are going apeshit trying to collect as many dues as possible before the tide really does turn on them.

That can’t be far off. According to a new Rasmussen poll, two-thirds of Wisco voters side with the unions on the CBA issue but also want teachers to take benefit or pay cuts. Read through the spin and it’s crystal clear that the overwhelming majority are actually on Walker’s side of the argument, they are just confused by the emotional subterfuge on performance. Susan Sarandon – are you f---ing kidding me?? Enough with the dog and pony show, people, figure it out already.

Everybody likes fire drills in summer – that’s all these kids are doing.
