With teacher pay and benefits coming to the forefront in a heated political climate, the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker has found its way into one Whitefish Bay classroom.

Conservative talk radio host Charlie Sykes reported Tuesday that a Whitefish Bay Middle School teacher wore a "Recall Walker" pin in the classroom — a cause for concern for some of the students' parents.

Living in Wisconsin, I see these morons everywhere with their “recall Walker” signs and petitions. They wave their arms at the traffic as you drive by. If the Dems want to spend the state into insolvency like they were doing under Jim Doyle, the Dem gov before Walker, then all Dems should have to pay an extra tax. I’d make teachers pay a double tax, because they’re the ones hurting the state the most.

In a civics class, there’s no problem with discussing it. Otherwise, no.

Shouldn’t she have been sent home, suspended for weeks, the same way the school would have handled a student with an “offensive” button, such as one depicting Jesus, or a pro-Walker sentiment, or, God forbid, pro-life?

Time for unrelentingly activist parents to storm the school.

See,
After watching you good folks in Wisconsin for awhile I’d like to thank you for taking the dumb politics award from us here in Floriduh.
Also just a few days ago I heard that Wisconsin is the state with the worst drinking problem. Understandable.

Uh... Percentages only add up to 98%. ID10Ts rounded everything down, even 4.7%
and 8.6%. I suppose that's a lot easier than remembering the rounding rules. Sheesh!

No, teachers should focus on education.
588 (86%)

Yes, it is a matter of free indoctrination of your children.
59 (8%)

I dither.
