55 grand? To teach? Pathetic pay.

Does democracy scare you now?Scary stuff. They've been operating mostly under the radar - and they are dangerous! What do you think?
Can't attract good candidates with poverty wages. So don't expect much. We need to stop telling citizens 55 grand starting pay is somehow something one should aspire to. That's a lie.When you look at their qualifications, not to mention their poor results,
they're massively overpaid.

The nation ad a whole detests even good teachers. Irrefutable fact. So when nobody wants the job only idiots are surprised.No good teachers want to work in the Chicago Public Schools.
Even if they pay much more than the average.

Don't hire bad ones then. 55 grand is poverty wage. Shame on the district for offering such a pittance.When even bad teachers are overpaid and get massive pensions, regular folks get upset.
No they most certainly are notAnd yet blue states far better even though they have tose cities too. Tell me more about how awesome Louisiana is.
In today's environment it is hard to hire non indoctrinated teachers coming out of college they have been trained in most cases by Marxist professors to hate America and everything it stands forDon't hire bad ones then. 55 grand is poverty wage. Shame on the district for offering such a pittance.
Most teachers don't hate anything they're just trying to survive on meager salaries for an ungrateful parents.In today's environment it is hard to hire non indoctrinated teachers coming out of college they have been trained in most cases by Marxist professors to hate America and everything it stands for
They are not FAR RIGHT ..
Consequential school board races in North Carolina, Maryland and other states could change the education system as we know it.
Over the last few years, elections for public education officials have gone from overlooked and low-profile to heated and politicized affairs, a shift that’s due in large part to conservatives increasingly eyeing schools as places where they can wield significant influence and enact a specific agenda.
Moms for Liberty, a far-right group that popped up in Florida during the COVID pandemic and has since campaigned nationwide for a variety of conservative causes, is a significant driver of this shift. The so-called “parental rights” organization has thrown its support behind school board candidates across the country who have gone on to ban books, pass policies that hurt LGBTQ+ kids, and limit what teachers can do and say in their classrooms.
In 2022, more than half of the candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty won their races, with those in Florida seeing particular success. But the following year, the group’s high-profile attempts in Pennsylvania were largely a dud.
This year, the group said it has identified 77 candidates for endorsements but has not publicly released the list.
“We continue to strive to have all voters across the country engage in their local school board elections and get to know the candidates because we know that change happens at the local level,” Moms for Liberty co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich said in an emailed statement to HuffPost. “We have seen an incredible win rate the past two years that shows the power of our grassroots organization and we are excited to see that same kind of win rate this year.”
But even as the group keeps a lower public profile than it has during previous elections, its impact is clear. Across the country, far-right extremists are looking to get on school boards and reshape public schooling.
The blueprint for a right-wing, Moms for Liberty-style candidate has been made, and conservatives are following it. These candidates typically rail against “critical race theory,” a college-level academic framework for understanding structural racism that has been co-opted by conservatives to mean talking about race at all and making white people feel uncomfortable. They falsely claim books about gender or sexual identity are inherently pornographic. They may smear teachers as groomers, and make sure transgender children are targeted and ostracized at school.
Parental rights and fighting to keep trans kids from playing sports are now Republican talking points at all levels of government.
“The work of Moms for Liberty hasn’t been as visible. But the rhetoric they use and their candidates are very much visible,” Tamika Walker Kelly, the president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, told HuffPost.
In blue, red, and purple states alike, this election is shaping up to have dozens of hotly contested school board races that feature right-wing candidates going up against their more liberal counterparts and hoping to shape the next generation of public school students.

Why would he do that? He doesn't live there. Why are you carrying on trying to get people to talk about places they don't even live?Now tell me about Mississippi.
You can't complain about blue states when MAGA states are the bottom tier states. New Jersey runs rings around them.Why would he do that? He doesn't live there. Why are you carrying on trying to get people to talk about places they don't even live?
