#RedforEd Teachers Shut Down Public Schools in Indiana

The #RedforEd movement shut down a number of K-12 public schools in Indiana on Tuesday as school teachers skipped class to protest at the State Capitol.

“Thousands of students in Indiana will be out of school on Tuesday while teachers plan to head to the statehouse to demand better pay,” Fox 59 reported.

The Indianapolis Star reported 145 school districts around the state will close for what the state’s teachers union is calling “Red for Ed Action Day”:

So far, 145 school districts have canceled class or moved to an “e-learning day” Tuesday to accommodate teachers who want to attend the Indiana State Teachers Association’s Red for Ed Action Day at the Statehouse. The state’s largest teacher’s union called on its members to take a personal day to lobby state lawmakers for better pay, among other things.

As Breitbart News first reported in February:

A well-funded and subversive leftist movement of teachers in the United States threatens to tilt the political balance nationwide in the direction of Democrats across the country as Republicans barely hang on in key states that they need to hold for President Donald Trump to win re-election and for Republicans to have a shot at retaking the House and holding onto their Senate majority.

This teachers union effort, called #RedforEd, has its roots in the very same socialism that President Trump vowed in his 2019 State of the Union address to stop, and it began in its current form in early 2018 in a far-flung corner of the country before spreading nationally. Its stated goals–higher teacher pay and better education conditions–are overshadowed by a more malevolent political agenda: a leftist Democrat uprising designed to flip purple or red states to blue, using the might of a significant part of the education system as its lever.

The teachers that care so much about the children? Those teachers? Or you mean the teachers that care more about their money then the children, who dont actually teach the children and simply get everything scripted from a gov handbook.

Public School system is trash for the most part in this country. Why? We complain about our public schools, then praise the teachers and side with them when it comes to increasing salaries. If the school system is failing who else fault could it really be besides the teachers?

Is it the 4th grade students fault the school system is crap? Horrible teachers and horrible parenting.

Northwest Woodsman: I’m sure that closing down this “education” system will have little effect on those children learning anything of value. It’s effect will be lack of a community day care facility and significantly less political and PC indoctrination.
