After reading a bit about what is going on in Wisconsin, I'd suggest that what is taking place there is very much a real educational experience for anyone who wants to think critically and place the events in the context of the development of the economy and human rights in a democracies.

Indeed this is not a simple "teachers strike" about salaries or benefits, but rather a challenge and response to collective bargaining itself, which is considered by the United Nations to be a fundamental human right.

So yes, it is a horrible situation in Wisconsin, but the big picture is a bit bigger than an FRC tournament... as important as that may be to individuals.
