This past week, the teachers in WV have gotten a good amount of publicity for their strike to get the things they deserve. I am not from WV and I still beamed with pride when I passed their picket lines and honked my horn.

I think more states need to consider this protesting tactic. I know you have to be under a union for it to work so I know a lot of professions can't do this without losing their jobs. But the teachers in my home state of KY really should consider it.

Since the shooting in Florida our governor has decided that our teachers should be armed, and there is currently a bill that is going to make that happen getting votes for yay or nay. I have seen many posts from teachers I had in school, friends who are going to become teachers and parents of students who in NO WAY want this to happen. To top that off these teachers don't have supplies they need and we have had issues in the past with programs being under scrutiny to see if they can be cut to save funds.

If I was a teacher in KY I would for sure take heed of what has been done in WV because if the situation continues to get worse, a peaceful protest by strike might be the option that can get the most done.
