Hint: if you actually care about kids, go to work!!
their demonstrators tend to leave a helluva mess, too.

Althouse: How much respect did the demonstrators show for the State Capitol grounds?

Bring their union leaders backsides up on littering charges. Go figure, union workers leave by 3pm, even protests.

Pathetic petulant Socialists at play, nothing to look at here folks.

Seems like there may be something in here.

Back on topic, what do you think of this situation?
Reading the story in the paper, I wouldnt want to pay $1200 a month for my health benefits either. The teachers would help themselves if they offered pay freezes for the current benefit structure. Im pretty conflicted on this issue to be honest.
