TN parents are getting on a soapbox here, because we are fed up with hearing politicians and organizations blame teachers and their union. Most of our children's teachers don't even belong to the union!
It is incomprehensible the way that teachers are portrayed as being evil for wanting a fair salary and retirement for their work.
Teachers are the most compassionate, giving, patient, people on the planet. They give of their own time and paychecks to help their students. They would willingly take bullets from intruders to protect our children. They certainly didn't choose the teaching profession to get rich, and they don't expect to. They work HARD. They are DEDICATED. We see it, why can't you?
All of this venom against teachers is being spewed from people who make triple, quadruple, and some even make 7 times the yearly salary of a teacher. Those bullies won't have to ever worry about their retirement because their corporately-funded organizations don't mind paying big time for their underhanded services. Shame on those bullies who hurt our children's teachers! May karma be swift and just to them.
So, in our authoritative we-mean-it-and-don't-make-us-use-your-middle-name-or-you'll-be-sorry voices with our stern expressions that our kids know good-and-well-we-mean-business-mister,
Tennessee Parents hereby tell our elected leaders and those corporately-funded-teacher-bashing organizations to:

STOP bullying teachers!
and while we're at it, we demand that politicians:
STOP giving away our public schools!!!
We elected you to PROTECT and STRENGTHEN our communities,
not weaken give them away to private interests to profit from.

WARNING:
Never before have parents become so politically involved. We've been busy raising our families without any inclination to become involved in politics. However, Common Core, excessive testing, school takeovers, the bullying of teachers, and greedy mismanagement by our elected officials has turned ordinary parents into political activists. Don't be surprised by what happens during future elections when lifelong legislators find themselves out of jobs. Parents know exactly which buttons to push in the ballot boxes: the names of servant leaders who will strengthen our world for future generations.
