"Why teachers are enraged"

"One must wonder how it is possible
to talk of improving schools while
     cutting funding,
     demoralizing teachers,
     cutting scholarships to college,
     and increasing class sizes.

The real story in Madison
is not just about unions
trying to protect their members'
hard-won rights.

It is about teachers who are fed up with attacks on their profession."

As a public school teacher, I can not express it any better.
