Here in Wisconsin

The other day, Dana Goldstein made the argument that the current Conservative/Progressive alliance on school reform will collapse in a couple of years once it becomes clear to Progressives that Conservative really only want to destroy teaching unions. Over the course of the last few days, Walker has shown exactly how Conservatives intend on treating all unions, anyone who has been paying attention to the Neoliberal war on workers, unions, and the environment, sold as a dedication to the free market, already understood what was going on.  The "left" wing of the Neoliberal movement thought, it seems to me, that it was being serious and all grown-up when it joined the chorus of the right wing of the Neoliberal movement when they agreed that the "crisis" in education required the destruction or, at least, the diminution of unions' political strength. What they were in fact doing was creating an  intellectual justification for Walker's nonsense.  So thanks for that.
