No Class Vandals, Union Protesters Disrupts Succesful Choice Protesters

The event was a perfect storm for the unhinged Left: A chance to combine their absolute hatred of the Republican governor with their complete disdain for the nation’s longest running school choice program.

SEIU, AFSCME and Milwaukee Public School officials combined forces with Students for a Democratic Society, self-professed Hippies and others to march, sing, chant and yell at not only the governor, but the students and staff of Messmer Preparatory School.

The Messmer story is inspiring, and one I’ll tell in greater detail here soon. What’s really striking to me is this obnoxious display of thuggery comes onthe heels of the release of the MacIver Educational Choice Census, which shows that throughout Wisconsin, parents are embracing educational options. In Milwaukee, nearly 4 out of 5 children attend a school other than the one geographically assigned to them by the public school bureaucrats.

Unions that represent the fed and state employees are the modern day equivalent of the NSDAP (also known as the nazi party). They share the same goals as the communist and fascist individuals who have taken over the upper ranks of the union organizations.

Any arrests?

Probably not, the cops are union too.

Government employee unions must be abolished.

Wow, that video is worth watching. The brother in charge of the school and all the kids are black, and almost all of the “protesters” are white. The kids looked great, very open and confident - and 85% of the school’s graduates go on to college.

I guess SEIU can’t have that happening!

Another point the brother made was that the effect of the school on the neighborhood was that property values in its immediate area (a slum) more than doubled and even tripled once the school had brought civility and order to that block.

Mayor Tom Barrett would you like to comment on the vandalism at Messmer? Hello? Sheriff Clark had plenty to say condemning this. Where is our Mayor?

[GeronL]

Well then, its no wonder libs attacked the school

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

The kids in this video show that there is hope! America can have a future if the unions will get out of the way and let schools teach good old fashioned values again.

Not only are teacher unions threatened by school choice, but the liberals who hope to turn our nation’s traditional culture and values through public school curriculum are threatened.

One of my Finest Moments was on the day of Aug, 26, 1968₍₁₎, when on the ORDERS of Chicago's finest I sort of 'bumped' and .. oh .. 'hit a few' of them with my '62 Chevy on Michigan Ave by Grant Park.

The Hippies *thought* they could block traffic. The Chicago Police thought otherwise. And I always obey the Police :-) The filthy Hippies scattered like cockroaches as I was coming at them in the far crosswalk.

(1) That was the day leading up to the night of the 'Hippie Riot' when the CPD cracked heads on Michigan Ave. And almost that cool is that night Dan Rather got whacked by a Cop on the floor of the Convention (at the old Chi Amphitheater) for being ... Dan Rather.

I love the sound of cop batons cracking hippie skulls early in the morning. It sounds like...good housekeeping.

OUTSTANDING post! Thanks. HOORAY Breitbart, Healy, Walker, Smith and the parents and children at Messmer!
