Students were the first and last casualties of the ruthless Big Labor war against fiscal discipline.
I agree with your rant but it seems to me that the students came out the good for it, i would think that the more these socialist bastards take off for sick leave or any other kind of leave or just stay home for any reason would be good for the students, no education is better than a socialist education.
Children were put in sometimes dangerous situations, near the goons who were infesting the capitol during those days. The irresponsibility of putting children in that environment is criminal...regardless if there was a debatable “net positive” outcome for the kids.
