NEA Gives Friend of Education Award to 14 Fugitive Wisconsin Democrats

Mike Antonucci:

NEA Gives Friend of Education Award to 14 Fugitive Wisconsin Democrats. Each year the National Education Association issues a "Friend of Education" award to some liberal worthy known for toeing the union line. Last year's award went to Diane Ravitch, and previous winners are Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy.

This year the union decided to honor the 14 Wisconsin Senate Democrats who fled the state rather than debate and vote on the governor's collective bargaining bill.

It is believed to be the first multi-week sojourn to the Tilted Kilt ever to result in an award from a major national organization.
