I am a teacher in Wisconsin. When all the union busting went down several years ago, one of the local ice cream shop owners said in a newspaper interview that teachers were a leach on society. I haven't eaten there since. Many openly called for a boycott by teachers, which caused some RWers to say that we weren't letting him have his freedom of speech. He can have his freedom of speech but that doesn't mean I have to give him another penny for it.

This just seems like privilege to me. This buffoon thinks everyone just agrees with him.
