Replying to Wisconsin School Districts Cancelling Classes in Fear of Statewide Walkout
15 school districts in Southern Wisconsin have canceled classes Thursday in anticipation of a statewide walkout in protest of Governor Scott Walkers bill proposal. He is attacking unions and undercutting our education system. He is trying to take away state, public, and local employee's collective bargaining rights. This is a direct threat to our state's education system and economy as a whole.
I attend the UW-Madison and our campus, along with others are planning a campus wide walkout at about 10 am tomorrow. Protests haven't been seen like this in Madison in decades. 10,000+ people have been protesting at the State Capital over the past two days and numbers are expected to exceed that tomorrow after the Wisconsin Education Association Council requested all it's members to come protest in Madison tomorrow.
