There is so much to say about this video. The students, out of school when their teachers ought to be educating them, and clearly undereducated at least as concerns the issue they’re supposed to be protesting. The unions using students to put forward a friendlier, less thuggish face than union protests tend to have. And the union official, who may also be a teacher, evidently lying through his teeth at the end, setting a lovely example for the kids who should be in class.

You don't think the video maker has a bias, do you.
The MacIver Institute is a conservative, pro-corporate organization founded in 2009 to advance conservative ideas and values. Its top staff is long-time Republican campaign strategists and its board of directors includes leading Republicans, most notably Mark Block, the head of Americans for Prosperity-WI, Fred Lubar, deep-pocketed Republican donor and Jim Troupis, lawyer to leading Republicans such as Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen and ethically-challenged Supreme Court Justices Mike Gableman and Annette Ziegler.
Staff: MacIver’s top staffers include both the former Chief of Staff to Scott Jensen and former GOP state senate caucus head and campaign strategist for top Republicans including Attorney General JB Van Hollen.
Jensen Ties: Initially, MacIver attempted to distance itself from Jensen, stating through a spokesperson that the former Assembly Speaker has no “formal role” with the organization. An investigation by Eye On Wisconsin's Cory Liebmann revealed that the properties of several initial communications from MacIver included the electronic imprint of Scott Jensen. Milwaukee Magazine also talked with Jensen about his involvement and after a preliminary denial, the reporter wrote “Later, Jensen amended that he is a consultant and his ‘main client’ is Alliance for School Choices.” [Milwaukee Magazine.com, 3/10/09]

These students didn't care, or understand why they were yanked out of class by those presumptuous pigs, mistakenly identified as 'teachers'....the only thing they understood is, they didn't have school that day. And I'm stunned at that age how STUPID the students were too!
Quick! lucysmom, get your daughter and any (unfortunate) g-kids you have together, their teachers have all signed a suicide pack, and they plan on taking their students with them!
My daughter, and I together, would snatch any dumb-ass teacher bald-headed that EVER yanked our kids out of class to protest their political beliefs without our WRITTEN PERMISSION!

Scott Jensen of the MacIver Institute (produced the video)
In 2002, Jensen was charged with misuse of public workers and state resources as part of a large state scandal that affected both parties. Jensen resigned from office on March 21, 2006, after being initially convicted on three counts on March 12.[9] The conviction was reversed on appeal, however. Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard announced that he intends to retry Jensen, although as of late 2009, venue disputes put into question whether prosecution must take place closer to Jensen's residence in Waukesha County.[10]
On December 20, 2010, the felony charges were dropped and Jensen agreed to pay the state of Wisconsin his lawyers fees when they were defending him. Jensen pleaded guilty to an ethics charge.[11] Wikipedia
Apparently Wisconsin GOP handed out $140 million in tax cuts and now propose that state employees pay for them.

Which, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the content of the video.
