Brian Will.I.Ams schools Scott Walker 9.26.11

This is NOT a video of Scott Walker getting a milkshake at a McDonald's drive-thru but rather a clip from NBC's Education Summit in which he was invited to be a guest on a panel of American Governors to discuss education. As most are aware Walker has a disdain for public education & teachers in general. He also was a college dropout when he attended Marquette University.

Brian Williams wasted no time in asking him some tough questions that no other journalist has done before. He literally opened the summit by directly going after Walker, who as Williams noted, was the only Governor to be the subject of a social media campaign against him. Clearly Walker is well-loved by the teachers of Wisconsin. ;) Williams referred to this letter in the opening:

TRANSLATION: When Walker mentions the word 'Tools' he really means 'Cuts'

As most intelligent people are aware (on all sides of the political spectrum, union or non-union) are aware Walker is clearly lying. Here's an excellent piece that refutes many of Walker's talking points he likes to say in every public appearance.

Here's more on Walker's 'High Ethical Standards'

Here in Wisconsin we've been fighting Walker's senseless attack on teachers since he declared war on them in February. This isn't even about collective bargaining or unions but the fact that he reduced the education budget more than any other state in America. Not coincidentally teacher retirements doubled in 2011.

Education is the key to our future as a State and as a country. The attack & cuts have to stop if we want to restore America as a world leader. We have to stop balancing the budget on the hard working people of this country and make Wall Street & the banks pay for their crimes. We're all in this fight together no matter which political party you think you support.

The full summit can be viewed here and is well worth watching:

Walker and his talking points over and over. Living and Wi, I have heard these talking points again and again. He is a robot without a soul. 

[raysgirlsofar]

Liar, hypocrite, nincompoop. I cannot wait to recall this toxic toxic governor.

[DubaiTheFuture]

I wonder how Walker's parent-teacher conferences go.

[ithakra]

@colleenloveskevin They were already in the ground when he was elected. Just look at MPS.

[tbaer711]

There is NO school or teacher in Wisconsin that would welcome Walker let alone tell him he's doing a great job. He's in his own little world.

WALKER: This is what happens when Democrats stay home on Election Day. A 2.59 GPA college drop out and corporate lackey Republican gets elected!

WPS insurance sucks.

@mannaufstahl

There's a lesson to be learned here....................Most people bring hardships upon themselves!!!

How come union members cant understand the hardships of the rest of the country?.........everyone's doing badly, but union members still DESERVE a raise!!!!!....................­WTF? Unions have had the last 120yrs. to be fair.............now return the favor!!.......................­Your an IDIOT

[mannaufstahl]

@stlB420 You teach your children to name call and degrade others? Seeing as how you can't make a comment without doing so, I'll assume that's the case, and your opinion matters to no one but other mean-spirited people like yourself. To not understand the hardships and suffering of others because you get your way is shameful. Not everyone is happy about it. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

[stlB420]

Hey union idiots guess what ?.....................Your days are numbered and everyone is happy about it, Our children will be better off for it !!!!!

[13westy13]

Ummmm, not quite sure how that was "Schooling" Governor Walker. Williams read a letter full of miss-information (including a supposed "thug" quote) and Governor Walker answered his questions directly with a pleasant, open tone.

You Union drones see negativity everywhere.

[MorioKun1]

I can't wait for Politifact the fact check this.
