    Wow, that is amazing, an incredible show of force by the teachers. Arizona has a population of about 6.9 million in a very big state which makes the teacher demonstration even more amazing.

        may this inspire even more people to send out the pictures: beat the “national” news at its own game

    You can literally feel the changing tides out there. Some of my most conservative friends have started to talk about the lack of education funding and how it has hurt generations of kids.

      That’s great news.

      The whole point of the phony reform movement was to pretend that charters and vouchers could substitute for funding.

      “The High Tide of Reform”

      Tide is turning
      Going out
      Teachers rising
      With a shout
      Organizing
      Walking out
      “Leaders” learning
      Of a rout

    I’m proud of every one of those teachers. Rise up against the autocratic kleptocracy and crush “it”.

    As per your Rachel Maddow “minute” comment, Diane: same comment I made about CBS–& Sinclair doesn’t even own MSNBC…yet.

    There is NO excuse for not covering a march of this magnitude.

      Maddow was probably too busy blaming “the Russians!” for Hillary Clinton’s loss and all other grievances.

    Wonderful. Teachers teaching other workers how to make changes in the New Feudal Order. A beautiful beginning.

      Wishful thinking I am afraid . Much like the antiwar movement evaporated after the draft and the Vietnam war ended. This does not have the markings of a social movement yet. The problem is not that teachers and schools are underfunded . There is a fundamental problem in how people view the role of Government and taxation. A problem in how we view public goods.

        We shall see. There is a lot of discontent among US workers. Since the 1970s, technological innovations have led to enormous productivity growth, but workers haven’t realized any of that value. It’s all gone to the ownership class. And that innovation has displaced a lot of workers (call center employees, supermarket checkout people, secretarial pool employees, etc) and put downward pressure on wages. People keep going to the polls and voting for what they think will be change and getting, from Republicans and Democrats, more of the same. Lousy healthcare being the biggest of these. The question is, when do they start to wise up and vote the pigs feeding at the troughs of the feudal lords out of office.

    Looks like the start of the Boston Marathon

    ” The Teacher Marathon”

    The start of something big
    A marathon of sorts
    And ending of the jig:
    The teacher-bashing sports
