    Hmm, “Illegal to strike” sounds a lot like “forced labor”.

    The fuck they gonna do, chain them to a desk? Newsflash assholes, jailing teachers isn’t gonna fucking put them back in classrooms.

      No but it will convince them to quit and they city can hire cheaper teachers that “aren’t woke”.

        The city can hire cheaper people, but not teachers. That’s been the problem the last few years - not enough teachers (because they’re treated and paid like shit), so the requirements to stand in front of a class continue to drop.

          Which is the GOPs plan: keep voters dumb enough to elect more Republicans.

            I partly agree with you. Mostly on that on matters of this that they had a plan, and wasn’t just wonton aggression against education. That is, their only plan was for the results, not the methodology.

        I have a feeling that we’re already skewing this way nationally with low pay and high academic requirements.

      Nah, they’ll pull a Reagan and tell everyone striking that they’re fired.

        “Fun” fact: Reagan’s little stunt with the air traffic controllers left the government with a severe shortage in talent and experience in air traffic controllers for a good decade afterwards. Turns out you can’t just fire everyone in the country who does a given job without consequences, particularly with a job that is high stress.
