WEAC wrong to pass on panel

Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:

It's hard to frame the decision by the state's largest teachers union to not participate in a unique task force to improve our schools as anything other than disappointing.

Sure, leaders of the Wisconsin Education Association Council are angry and frustrated to the extreme with Gov. Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers for requiring more financial contributions from all public sector employees - including teachers - while strictly limiting collective bargaining.

Go ahead - be angry and frustrated. But don't just withdraw from a great opportunity to improve our schools
