FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO):  Teachers within Allen County are planning on sending a message to state lawmakers on Wednesday.

According to the Journal Gazette, Red for Ed walk-ins at Fort Wayne Community Schools, East Allen County Schools and Southwest Allen County Schools are being organized by the districts’ teachers unions. They are encouraging citizens to ask their legislators to oppose multiple bills affecting education, including House Bills 1134 and 1072.

House Bill 1072 would require public school districts to share referendum dollars with charter schools while House Bill 1134 has seen some language removed or changed, such as teachers having to post all lesson plans before the academic year. Wednesday’s walk-ins are scheduled before teachers’ contract hours so classes aren’t disrupted.

I get it — teachers don’t want to be accountable to parents and legislators — too bad, so sad — y’all work for us, not the other way around

Teachers: Who do you work for? Do you work for the Unions? Or do you work for the PARENTS and TAXPAYERS who tote the freight so you can have jobs. Parents are fed up with the schools teaching skeevy ideas that parents do not want taught. They are fed up with hiding the curriculum. They are fed up with the mask mandates. They are fed up with the public schools. Fed up you say? Yes they are fed up. Parents are taking back the wheel by home schooling or sending their kids to private schools at great expense. Although you work at the public school you really do not have a say in how our kids are taught or what they are taught. THE PEOPLE have that control. So just keep your RED for Ed Marxicrat stuff at home where it belongs.
