Opinion: Congress should pass bills to save teachers' jobs

eduK8 sumitted ago via http://www.mercurynews.com (Views: 116, Clicks: 5)  View Story

The U.S. Senate denied passage of an emergency spending bill last week that included a $10 billion provision to save 100,000 teachers who have been given pink slips due to shortfalls in state budgets. To call this a tragedy is an understatement and merely the latest in a litany of legislative efforts that undermine our education system and throw another roadblock in our children's future.

Yet a $60 billion dollar spending bill was passed to continue the decade long war in Iraq.

Education is also a national security issue!
