This sound like a good idea - stop funding liberal outreach into all the communities and families of Wisconsin.

[Drango]

SOB.

I got the vapors now. Must lay down and have a spot of tea.

I think Walker knows to beat back liberals we need to beat them where they eat and breed. They took over unions and schools a long time ago as part of the communist plan to take over America.

We can fight all day long about policy, but if we are turning out stupid people brain washed with communist beliefs we will never win. This is why Walker will make a great President. He knows the right battles and he has proven he can fight and win those battles.

Fixing America isn’t an overnight one time thing. We need to take back the institutions that liberals have seized. Stop them from breeding their thoughts and indoctrinating our young into their belief system.

More than a good idea. It’s a huge step in defunding social/progressive cancer. If that jography prof thinks the nanny state is so much fun let him take a pay cut to help fund it. snivel snivel snivel.

He ought to scrap taxpayer supported tenure while he is at it.

[kidd]

I think this will resonate well with everyone except the extreme left. They, of course, will be furious.

This sound like a good idea - stop funding liberal outreach into all the communities and families of Wisconsin.

But why does he want to stop research at the universities? One would think that would be an important part of their mission, especially in agriculture given Wisconsin's rural population.

Herzog’s go to UW professor for crying about the cuts Walker is trying to institute was revealed to not be teaching any classes this year while getting her full salary...

You really can’t make it up sometimes.

LOL!

Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget calls for essentially removing the public service language from the University of Wisconsin System's mission to focus more on workforce development, according to language released Wednesday morning. The Wisconsin Idea has long been the core philosophy of the UW System, driving campuses to extend their reach into communities and "every family in the state." That mission also is linked to Wisconsin public radio and TV. The Walker budget cuts $5 million in state funding from the public service media. State funding makes up about 10% of the budget for their programming operations, according to a spokesman for the governor.

Part of the University of Wisconsin's "core philosophy" was to turn out government workers?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Developing “the Workforce” is creepy, commie/globalist lingo. Wisconsinites don’t exist for the purposes of large corporate interests.

This may be better than communist indoctrination posing as liberal arts education, but it’s almost as bad.

Just get the government out of schooling at all levels.

[Obadiah]

Just an FYI, Walker’s budget proposes to eliminate taxpayer funding for Wisconsin Public Radio (i.e., NPR) and Wisconsin Public Television.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

"I'm nearly speechless," said Mark Schwartz, a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee distinguished professor of geography and chairman of the faculty University Committee. "The budget cuts are one thing. This aims at the heart of the Wisconsin Idea,and smashes it."

From your lips to God's ears, Mark.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. So you get some prissy, pompous Liberal professor very publicly getting the vapors about how Walker is going to smash Communist education and force the university system to produce viable workers. He’s so over the top that he has to be a Walker plant.

[goldstategop]

Democrats need universities to spread their message?

No wonder they’re saddened - deeply saddened another propaganda arm gets the budget axe.

[Awgie]

SW makes it feel like Christmas every day. He is a man of action in a world of republican windbags and democrat subversives. Democrats in Wisconsin must feel like the rag heads in “The Sniper.”
