Yes,he is a Democrat. The teachers have not all been fired.
He said he wanted the flexiblility to lay off some of them and by law lay off notices had to be sent out by the first of March,so he sent out notices to all,to give him the greatest amount of options. They won’t all get fired.
RI is a hard core Dem state. They can let the cops check illegals on police stops and other stops but the media never mentions that. I doubt anyone will get fired but the money and time is running out.
