The protests in Madison, Wisconsin
Spirited resistance to the stripping away of bargaining rights for public workers in Wisconsin continues as the capitol city’s school are shut down by the protests. Jesse Russell reports.
On Wednesday the city of Madison school system shut down because an estimated 40 percent of teachers called in sick. Teachers in Wisconsin are one of the groups that would lose collective bargaining rights under proposals by Governor Scott Walker. James Madison Memorial High School Social Studies teacher David Olsen spoke about why the teachers shutting down the schools was a powerful message:
[Olsen]: “Not only because we have so many teachers, SEAs, psychologists and social workers who marched here today, but also because we have thousands of students making their way down the road.
The previous day more than 700 students from Madison East High School walked out of class to join the protest and on Wednesday students at Madison’s West High School were planning to do the same.
Students have been holding walkouts throughout the state with additional walkouts reported in Stoughton, Eau Claire, Viroqua, Appleton, and other towns. The Appleton Post Crescent reported on Wednesday that since Walker announced his proposals school systems in Wisconsin have seen an increase in teachers submitting requests for early retirement.

In Florida, teachers and public workers haven't received pay increases for five years and the new grifter-governor, Rick Scott, wants to cut teacher's and public worker's pay by 5 per cent to pay for their retirement.
This is the response of the public workers and the Florida Teacher's Union.
This is the difference between the people in the North and the South. Some people have backones and some do not.
The Florida public workers and teachers are scheeple and the governor knows it.
