Madison East High students walk out & march against Walker bill

[Cyallaire]

With some of the pro-Walker/anti-union posting here, I have to wonder if these trolls aren't on the payroll of some astroturf organization, hired to go spewing their ignorant statements, with recommendations like "Gov. Walker shpould pull a "Reagan" and fire all of the teachers that walked out." (from RetSquid) - does he also recommend that Walker substitute national guard troops for teachers, or just let the kids sit in a teacherless classroom? Does that screen name indicate a retired squid?

@ksurv spoken like a person who truly hates the democratic process and the right to dissent. Perhaps you can find a nice autocratic nation to move to that will have rulers that agree with your anti democratic thinking.

[ksurv]

What a convenient excuse for students to not go to school . . . with encouragement from those who are supposed to be teaching them. I especially appreciate the example the teachers are setting for our children. If you don't agree with something, cry about, complain, and don't show up for work. No wonder our students are falling further and further behind the rest of world.

I attend East, I was one of the students who marched, and believe me almost everyone there knew why they were there and had a reason to fight this bill. What Scott Walker is doing is not only hurting our teachers, , our friends, and our state; it is hurting my chance, and the chances of all of my fellow students, to have a good future for ourselves. Also, if you think unions are free rides, take your fucking head out of your ass and look at what things were like before the labor movement.

[PLUMBdogg]

Scott Walker rules!

[axeman196822]

CRUSH THE UNIONS !! Good Job Gov. Walker. No more free rides !

[u2makeitup]

Good for the kids. Great experience. We've got to make sure our young people learn to fight for their freedoms. These will! God bless the angles!

[LoserBushShrub]

Cairo in Wisconsin. We are all Wisconsians. We're proud of you. Paul Ryan and Scott Walker better quit telling their lies about the deficits. They sound like Bush lying about WMD's.

[RetSquid]

@LoserBushShrub

Yeah, liberals are usually proud of unions that break the laws. Gov. Walker shpould pull a "Reagan" and fire all of the teachers that walked out.

[1985Siouxsie]

Way to go, guys! Now, go back to class ;-)

[claraburke1]

Very cool. These high-schoolers could teach the Tea Party a thing or two (or a hundred).

[a2jFella]

the sad part is that 99% of them don't even know/understand why they are there.

[LoserBushShrub]

@a2jFella Are you a product of "No child left a dime" ?

[brghtsd1]

good for you kids.

[peakdavid]

Great job! Am proud of you guys stepping up and stepping out to help stop the corporate agenda.

[dncWruths]

No a lot of teenagers are educated and have family members that are affected by this bill.

[JackBlair2]

Wow, a lot of union members in Wisconsin are teenagers.

[TheSynthMonster]

@JackBlair2 a lot of student care for there teachers, and the rights of others

[RetSquid]

@TheSynthMonster

The teachers did a good jiob organizing a day off for their students.

[TheSynthMonster]

@RetSquid actually at the school I go to the teachers told up not to go and a student organized the walkout

[RetSquid]

@TheSynthMonster

This was obviously not your school then....And you should have stayed IN school, or at least gone to your English class.

[TheSynthMonster]

@RetSquid hahaha its funny you say that because that because English was the only class I went to that day

[RetSquid]

@TheSynthMonster

Didn't learn much did you? You know, capital letters, punctuation, grammar...

[TheSynthMonster]

@RetSquid nope not really we're learning about poetry so not much help

[RetSquid]

@TheSynthMonster

I'm pretty sure they use all of those things in poetry.

[TheSynthMonster]

@RetSquid depends on who's writing it

[AntaresInScorpius]

where were these faggots when other workers were getting reamed up the ass??? Well people in madison should have no problem with any cut in pay and benefits since they are a bunch of faggots anyway and are used to getting fuked up the ass.

[brickmaster95]

[konchog3]

Very proud of you guys!

[TheGirlwithcamera]
