MADISON, Wis. – Sunday marks 10 years since former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker introduced Act 10 legislation – an attempt to repair Wisconsin’s budget by cutting state employee’s rights to collectively bargain. The days leading up to the Wisconsin legislature approving the legislation featured widescale peaceful protests at the capitol building in Madison. While teachers packed together both inside and outside, Monona Grove High School history teacher Denise Peterson was awaiting her moment. “I called into the district, and said dock my pay. I’m going to be at the capitol,” Peterson said. “As someone who taught government at the time, I felt it was very important for me to do this. If I’m telling students how important it is to be an activist and participate in the political process, I couldn’t talk the talk and not walk the walk.”
