Hammes: Wrong Day For Protest

Tone deaf? At least, but maybe it’s even worse than that. Maybe it’s just a case of being so insulated from the rest of the world that what is obvious to the most of us is a mystery to them.

Question: Did you see anything wrong with teachers protesting against Tom Luna’s education “reform” plans on the Presidents’ Day holiday?
