Wv teacher strike again.

Well, here we go again. The state government is trying to push through a law that basically want to throw our education to the private sector, and even teachers are very unhappy with that, charter schools are the last thing we need here. They would harm our public education where most people have to go because of money. Also, this bill includes another 5% pay increase for teachers, but they’re fighting against it anyway, because they care, genuinely, about the students they teach. Solidarity with the teachers!

Charleston, West Virginia: Striking teachers and school workers, students and parents rally at the State Capitol, March 2, 2018.

“Powerful right now inside of Capitol. Teachers, hundreds strong, militant, along with students and supporters in front of the Senate chambers, chanting and making a lot of noise.”

I find it incredibly heartbreaking that searching “West Virginia” into your search bar bring up results like this. This shouldn’t HAVE to happen. If you don’t know what’s going on, teachers and public workers were given a 1% pay raise, with an increase on their insurance, thus nullifying their pay raise altogether. Being a native West Virginian, it pisses me off that our Governor, Jim Justice, ironic as his name is, can’t get his damn head out of his ass. Teachers are quite possibly one of, if not the most valuable resources we have. I think it would be better that our own mayor doesn’t put their jobs on the line just because his own selfishness.

Truth, kiddo! 🙌🏻 Today, I got to introduce some of my favorite people to a different side of politics! 💛💙 I loved watching Nick interact with the teachers around us and get exited during the chants. It was so cool to teach him about Mother Jones and the Labor Movement while watching him take part in WV history. #55strong #55united #wv #fixpeia #jimjustice #wvteachers #westvirginia #mountainstrong #protest #motherjones #labormovement #unions #politics #protestsigns #democracy #wvsenate #bullshit #quotes #wecallbs #students #teachers #workstoppage #strike #teacherstrike #teachersofinstagram #studentsofinstagram (at Charleston Capitol Building)

Well tomorrow marks the 4th day of the Wv teacher walk out. Jim Justice is still a failure, and threatening teachers. (And avoiding taxes), Mitch Carmichael called our teachers "town rednecks." Now, I may H A T E school, and despise a few teachers, but the ones who make it all worth while, deserve better. They deserve better pay, insurance, funding, and all around treatment. People have been VERY opinionated on this. Espically on Facebook, you know how old southern people can be. (I'll give you a hint: they can be asswipes). Even teachers are divided among this, and god forbid any pass that picket line.
