Wisconsin protests

The Heritage Foundation reports from Wisconsin and talks with union members protesting in Madison:

On Sunday, Mary Bell, president of the Wisconsin Educational Association Council, instructed the teachers in her union to return to the classroom after many of them skipped school for three days last week. The unexpected move energized Republicans in Wisconsin, who took it as a sign that negative public reaction to the “sick-out” is making a difference.

Or perhaps they don’t need the numbers because the unions are bringing in additional reinforcements. Madison, one of the most liberal cities in the United States, is a town always in search of a cause.

This isn't new--the video was shot before the Senate Democrats fled the state, and Steve Hayes noted the comments in his piece yesterday. But it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. And it's a good example of how Wisconsin Democrats have taken a decent to strong hand and squandered it by acting childishly.
