Elected Democrats fled Wisconsin in order to prevent a quorum in the Senate. Without a quorum no Senate business can take place. (Some of you may remember a similar event in Texas from a few years ago

I hope there's something legal the governor can do on this, for the senators and against the teachers and others who were calling in sick to protest. And worse, have their students protest.

For one thing, isn't sending their students to get credit by taking a side in a political issue a diversion of education funding for partisan political gain? I'm pretty sure that's illegal in every State of the Union, and the teachers could be prosecuted for it.

I would privatize every school in the state and fire every teacher. Let 'em start over from scratch.
