Political Action Update

I went to a three hour meeting of our teacher's association on Monday after school, which was intense, emotional, and scary.  A statewide walk-out was in the works.  They were hoping to close all the schools in Idaho.  We were to spend the day not in our classrooms, but out in our communities educating people on the bills that are on the fast track in the House.  We held a meeting at our own school on Tuesday and that went for another hour.  Today we were receiving e-mails all day long with more developments.  Now the walk-out has been canceled, but they're planning all kinds of actions that we'll be involved in starting tomorrow.  I think we'll need something powerful and big to get our message out there, and to get the House to slow down and listen.  It's not a good time to be a teacher.  We're being attacked by our own State Superintendent.  It's Lunacy!
