Striking Teachers Unable to Spell

"OUTLOWED?"

Madison WI, Feb 20, 2011. A great many of the unionized teachers who are striking in Wisconsin weren't paying attention in class themselves.

Many of them were seen holding signs with misspelled words.

This shocking fact is demonstrated by some of the signs they made to protest the new budget. Hopefully, these aren't English teachers.

The Union's main argument seems to be that they need higher pay and benefits so they can improve the quality of the education the children are getting.

"SAV ARE?"

The striking teachers are demanding that their neighbors pay higher taxes so they won't have to contribute towards their benefit costs. Like everyone else does.

That sounds reasonable, but we might need to hire and recruit smarter teachers first. Teachers who can spell complicated words like "our" and "outlawed" and "save."
