These people are 'shaping the younger generation' - you know that don't you?

Perhaps the most unethical thing one can do is to exploit children for money.  Which is of course what the Wisconsin NEA is doing.  You simply don't do this, gang.  It's unethical and frankly immoral.  These people need to be barred from any access to children. Of course I guess I should thank them for proving my point that they are fascists whose clients are nothing more than props in their quest for money and power.  Hat tip National Review


Madison — On Valentine’s Day, over 100 students in tiny Stoughton, Wis., marched out of their classrooms and into the unseasonably warm air. They had decided to protest Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s new bill to require higher pension and health-care contributions from state and local government employees.
As a student “union” leader barked into a megaphone in the background, one high-school junior expressed his concern for his teachers. “A lot of my teachers have been really concerned about this — they don’t know if they’re going to have jobs next year or not,” he worried.
Two days later, schools in Madison canceled classes so teachers could join 20,000 people in picketing the capitol building. A 700-student entourage from Madison East High School, urged on by their teachers, marched the three miles from their school to the capitol. Wisconsin’s MacIver Institute, armed with a video camera, asked one of the students what the group was there to protest. “We’re trying to stop whatever this dude is doing,” he eruditely explained.
This “dude” is trying to fill a $3.6 billion hole in the state’s budget by requiring state and local government employees to pay 5.8 percent of their salary towards their pensions (most currently pay nothing), and increasing their share of health-care premiums to 12 percent (double their current share). Governor Walker’s plan would also eliminate collective bargaining for almost everything except salary for government employees.

    What’s immoral about asking uninformed minors under your care from putting themselves in harm’s way to demonstrate for their right to impoverish themselves on your behalf? I don’t get it?
