MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Democrats are renewing their call for significant changes to Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal, including reducing a $300 million cut to the University of Wisconsin System and spending more money on public schools.

The four Democrats on the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee sent a letter Wednesday to the Republican co-chairs of the committee asking for a series of changes in light of comments from the public in reaction to Walker's plan.

The Democrats are calling for removal of a proposed cut to the SeniorCare program as well as changes to the structure of the state's long-term care system for the elderly and disabled.

Republicans have signaled that SeniorCare will be protected and cuts Walker proposed to public schools and UW will be reduced, especially if tax collection projections improve.

Immigration reform supporters are celebrating a decision by Emory University to provide aid for undocumented students.

Emory University now offers scholarships to students who qualify under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals guidelines.

The university released the following statement:

"...As a private institution, Emory will use private, non-governmental resources to offer university scholarship support to these qualified students, beginning with the class entering this fall."

Andy Kim, a senior at Emory and co-founder of "Freedom at Emory," says this decision is long overdue.

"I didn't see it being fair that my peers who were smarter than me, and qualified to go to school were not able to," Kim said.

D.A. King, an anti-immigration activist, tells Channel 2 Action News he disagrees.

"I think emory has made the predictable decision to reward illegal immigration to demonstrate how morally superior they are at the cost of people who have obeyed our immigration laws," King said.

State rules bar undocumented students from attending some of Georgia's top universities.

The rules also prohibit immigrants without legal status from paying in-state tuition at other schools.

BENTONVILLE -- The plaintiff in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case met with Bentonville High School students to discuss First Amendment rights Wednesday.

In 1965, Des Moines, Iowa students Mary Beth Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam war. The school prohibited the armbands and suspended the students.

A lawsuit was filed against the Des Moines School District, and after losing at the district and appeals court levels, the case went before the Supreme Court in 1969. The Supreme Court ruled that students could express themselves as long as it doesn't "materially and substantially interfere" with school or violate other's rights. Today, Tinker v. Des Moines is still used to define limits of free expression at school.

"It's a huge issue today as well, because so many students now are speaking up and standing up about all the issues of our day and where the limits are for the First Amendment, where hate speech should be limited and where students should be encouraged to have their speech rights," Tinker says.

Tinker spoke with Bentonville students about her experience, and the challenges to freedom of expression in the digital age.
