His daughter reports that he is doing much better, but still in danger.

But now I wish I'd been paying attention sooner. Some of you may remember that in 2009, several private unions pushed Wisconsin lawmakers to revise a statute that ordered public schools to give students "knowledge of state, national and world history." The AFL-CIO, Teamsters Union, the United Transportation Union and other private unions wanted lawmakers to add "including knowledge of the history of organized labor in America and the collective bargaining process" onto the end of the sentence. They had decided this...

As you know, FR is funded solely by voluntary contributions from members. There is no George Soros sugar daddy underwriting the expenses. It's up to each of us to decide how much FR is worth.
