Oklahoma Teachers Strike for a 4th Day to Protest Rock-Bottom Education Funding

quote [ The state legislature has approved an increase in teacher pay, but teachers still haven’t returned to their classrooms, demanding more funding for education in a state that has slashed it dramatically—and paid the price. ]

And there's plenty more in the extended.

I wish them luck, but Oklahoma? Looks like a heavy lift.

It's an uphill battle to be sure. Kentucky DSA chapters are organizing a strike fund.

Apparently, there's quite the battle going on over at Disney as well that's been getting pretty much ignored by the media. Disney is withholding $1000 bonuses from 41,000 employees unless they accept some shit wage increases. I think this is like the third case of those supposed "tax bill bonuses" being shams.

Reading teacher income strains sympathy. But it is a very important job, and I hope we all can do better by our children.
