Have You Heard About What is Going on in Madison?

My church planting partner, Scott Sterner, reports:

Crazy times here in Madison as 16 schools are now closed tomorrow because teachers are all "walking out" so they can go and protest against Governor Scott Walker's proposal to end collective bargaining with teacher's unions. This and his budget, which will greatly cut government employee benefits, have sparked a lot of controversy. This video reflects tonight's protest in the capital which will be followed by an even greater wave of protest tomorrow.

Yesterday we took our kids up to the Capital to show them democracy in action. I told them that many people in other countries get shot for doing what these people are doing. We should be thankful for where we live.
