You guys know how teachers in Texas can’t actually protest because they’ll lose their pensions and get fired? Legitimately, my mother is a teacher here in Texas, they cannot protest without facing severe repercussions, and that is an actual law.

Hear me out… What if the kids protested for them. Kids face repercussions too, of course, but if they walked out of class, all of them together, and just sat either on school grounds or off school grounds and just protested, not only would that prevent teachers from losing their jobs and their retirement, it might give them the strength and push they need to take the risk on their job. We still, however, cannot blame a person for being scared of losing their job in the face of something like that. Their job and all their retirement.

All the kids would have to do is get into contact with each other, Facebook, here, in person, texts, calls, Twitter, however the hell you have to get a hold of people, and plan a day for everyone to just walk out. If you can get a few schools to do it, other schools will probably follow along, especially if it’s on thw news. Just choose a day and help your teachers get the pay they deserve.
