    Not to mention the unmentioned difference between number of teachers and number of ICE goons making that salary.

    I’m all for teachers making more money. I think pay should be based on need and workload. Teachers rank high in both.

    But the argument above is not great argument. It uses something I hate, something I agree with, and makes a false equivalency argument out of both. As inclined as I am to agree, the argument could be a lot better

      Idk I kinda get it:

      Federal salary employee that teaches young people to be intelligent members of a future society they’ll grow up to create:

      Peasant pay, overloaded classrooms, stripped authority over class disruptors. 😭🍎📚

      Federal salary employee that yanks families apart and throws kids in the back of vans to get shipped to concentration camps, and sometimes just shoots people because they were having a bad day and didn’t feel the customer service spirit:

      SIX DIGITS AND A SIGNING BONUS BAYBEEEE💰💰💵🤑 (AIR_HORN.WAV x 5)

      Our taxes fund both and they choose how to spend it.

      It shows where the government’s priorities are, and it’s quite telling how they feel about We the People and our children.
