For the second straight year, members of the UW-Madison Teaching Assistants' Association will express their love for the university on Valentine's Day. The teachers' union plans to hold an "I ♥ UW" rally, marching from the Memorial Union to the state Capitol at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday. Last year's rally by the same name touched off a series of historic protests in opposition to Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to curb the power of public employee unions. In August, the T.A.A. chose not to seek state certification under the new law, which curtails collective bargaining for most public workers. The T.A.A. is asking Walker to repeal the law and restore funding cuts to public education. The Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice of South Central Wisconsin and Madison Teachers, Inc. will join the teachers' union in a series of events Tuesday.

Funny how often the liberal media will become so infatuated with some word or another that they kill it off through compulsive overuse.
