an interesting glimpse of the actions of teachers calling in sick, then going to protest: this period just before the Christmas holidays and the end of the first semester is the time for true professionals to review with their students to ensure that the instruction given has made it possible for the students to pass all tests necessary--whether in English, math or science. The teachers (who teach 183 days a year) will be paid, substitute teachers will be called in, and the price will be paid--by the students.

Violence Breaks Out in Michigan Against Conservatives as Union Protests Rage

Michigan Democrat Rep. Douglas Geiss threatened on the House floor this morning "there would be blood" if the legislation passed.
