Teacher strikes are legal in PA, so long as the students are able to complete 180 days of school by June 30.

Thats too bad, even though I was once a teacher, I don't believe teachers should be able to strike. If there is something they don't like about their jobs, they should be able to negotiate for it or leave. I don't believe firemen or police should have the right to strike either. They should sign no-strike contracts and if they don't like the terms of the contract, they should not sign. They would have more community respect if they were to do this.

The main (and oftentimes only) sticking point in negotiations for PA teachers' unions is that they do not want to pay 1 single penny towards health care premiums. The PSEA is holding hard on this, and there have been numerous strikes around the state.

Are you comparing those who don't like Leftist 'educators' indoctrinating their kids in liberalism to Muslims? If so, you have a problem. My apologies, it was bad timing and my sarcastic nature got the best of me. Of course, there is no comparison, though Muslims do apply that same kind of logic.

Not all teachers are nation-hating indoctrinating communists either. There are many who do indeed care about kids and try to do a good job. There are indeed some bad ones, but there are also some good ones as well

I personally, get troubled, when the labels are applied to the military which has happened all too often recently. I'm still disturbed ty the assault against the Catholic clergy too. I'm agitated at the attacks against the Boy Scouts by the gays.
