It has been called the “Teachers’ Spring” in the United States, with educators from five states staging an unprecedented wave of protests demanding increases in pay and school budgets.
Encouraged by progressive resistance to President Donald Trump and the #MeToo movement, the protests by the nation’s teachers, more than three-quarters of whom are women, mark the first statewide walkouts since the 1990s.
Some educators have likened their movement to the “Arab Spring”, a series of anti-government uprisings that hit Arab countries in North Africa and the Middle East beginning in 2010.
The movement has already prompted lawmakers to allocate pay increases for teachers and more money for schools in West Virginia, Oklahoma and Colorado, while Arizona’s legislature is also trying to hammer out a deal.

“Free” daycare.
Here in upstate NY, schools are spending approx. $17,000 per student, per year.
In the inner cities, its $23-$25,000.
Keeping this bureaucratic and political farce going will bankrupt all of us.

Those same women are having sex and making lewd suggestions to minor students every week

Fire them.
Wow talk about stretching it!
Fire ‘em and hire others. Any donkey can do what they do.
Wearing red. How apropos.
Why do commies have an enduring need to come up with prosaic titles for their so-called movements?
Red October, Teachers Spring, May Day etc etc.
another example why public employee unions are a bad idea
‘Teachers’ Spring’ forcing lawmakers to find money for Indoctrination centers.
There, fixed it.
Agreed, which is why I believe Trump will make school reform a priority after the midterms.
Not prosaic, poetic.
Having been first an programmer then, later, a teacher I can tell you being a teacher is way more than adequately compensated - unless it is an urban school which requires police and/or military.
The Left, always willing to lie awake in bed night after night to come up with new angles for pushing their agenda, has identified another weak spot.
Most women now work outside the home.
Deny them the free daycare of the school system and their lives are turned into instant chaos.
They will demand their elected legislators do ANYTHING so that they can go back to normal.
This is a very clever campaign that was contrived and executed by Leftists at the highest levels.
Progressive resistance to President Trump has been an abject failure.
The #MeToo movement has been strangled by the very libs that conceived it because too many of them were being snared.
It would be a great time to fire them and replace them with school choice.
Don’t forget; #Iscrew14yearoldboys
Another angle to the teacher walk-outs is that the teachers are teaching the students to be social justice warriors for the Democrat Political Party. The Dems want school kids to work for free to win the elections for the Dem candidates. School board elections, President, city councils, youname it.
I’m being just a tad facetious.
But, yes, get rid of ‘em and hire others.
