And where is your data to back this up? My stepmom and my dad are teachers, and everyone they know who went took personal days or waited until the weekend.
No offense, but misusing a personal day probably doesn't bode well for public opinion. Aren't those for illness, injury, or medical emergencies? At least where I live. Plus other "urgent events" related to family members.
I find it unprofessional that Teachers show their political positions to their students...
So it passed? Huh interesting...
Some people I heard were actually using sick days...guess they used up their personal days...
I find no problem with it. If a child actually changes their opinion on politics/was influenced simply because a teacher discussed their own Political views then that child is a naive idiot. We're supposed to think critically, yes? Same thing.

We're talking about seniors in high school. The people impressionable enough to change their opinions based on their teacher's don't understand the issue/don't care about it anyway. The ones that do care enough about the issue had basically the same opinion as my teacher anyway.
The terms "children" and "child" don't imply high schoolers, let alone seniors. In high school, I think it's okay for teacher's to express their opinions as long as they are clearly identified as opinion and not fact. When this happens, all students should feel free to express their opinions and perhaps have some healthy, civil debate on topics of interest.
My 12th Grade IB History teacher would show us films that are clearly biased to the left of American political spectrum. We had to watch Outfoxed, Sicko by Michael Moore, and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and write essay responses to them. That's inappropriate if the information is one-sided like that. I don't care how old a student is; teachers shouldn't be teaching political opinion as fact.
Of course they are. High schools across the country advocate abstinence programs in health class and in the school, and those are clearly misleading, heavily right-wing religeous groups. Same thing, yet that's ok?
Back to Walker v. Wisconsin, I do hope the GOP knows they are literally digging their own grave for the 2012 elections. All this outrage and outcry over GOP-backed proposals will not go over well come next November. The democrats will carry the vote of the Middle class this time. All the Democrats have to do is bring up that they kept their distance from the Collective Bargaining Legislation, and did what they could to abstain from it's vote. Same strategy the Republicans used against Obama before the Midterms.
I thought this might be of interest to you guys:
