Republicans to teachers:
No, you can't have money for your schools.
No, you can't have scholarships to train new teachers.
No, you can't have pay raises to attract talented people to the profession.
No, you can't teach cutting edge science and history because its got a "liberal bias."
No, you can't have decent retirement or health benefits.
No, you can't have unions that fight for your rights.
No, you can't open a new school to lower class sizes.
No, you can't have busing to allow for diverse school populations and increased opportunity for everyone.
What? What do you mean your kids aren't passing? You must be a shit teacher.
