Protests

What a crazy week in Madison. With the unions being challenged and wages and bargaining threatened, public employees from all over the State came out to Madison in full for protesting. Madison schools were cancelled Wednesday and today and will likely be cancelled again tomorrow. While I believe that people should be treated fairly, is is fair that the unions told the superintendent of the schools to cancel school? How is that fair to the children who are suppose to be there to learn and the parents who now have to take sick days while their kids are home?

I am extremely thankful for my children's teachers who choose to teach despite the low salary and benefits they receive compared to the public schools.
