What they need is people from the state handing out real pink slips. 50% of teachers and 75% of school administrators are completely unnecessary. Those who produce will produce absent of all this Bolshevik rhetoric. Government workers are not more equal. Uncertainty of job future is a known motivator.
Wouldn't that be a hoot - people in white coats suckering in the protesters. "You a teacher or state employee? Yes, then take this note."
The note is pink and says "YOU'RE FIRED!"
