Teachers do not get random vacation time nor are they permitted unpaid leave. They had to use sick time. I am not excusing it, but that's the only way they could have gone to the protest.
It's unprofessional excuses for such behavior that has undermined respect for us teachers that actually care about our students and reputations. It would be fine for the teachers to come when off school, write letters, emails to governor and representatives, contact union with petitions to present, ask for community support. But lying? Those teachers deserve what people think of them, unfortunately all will be tarred.
