Cue a fat stryker on the Bed patning and breathing heavily from last nights shenanigans, especially with a rabbit pinup of all things, but still... Never had he thought Olive would have much energy especially when being so rough with his moobs. "Holy.... Shit...." He panted out.

And a fat catgirl goddess laying on top of him. She purred loudly while slowly moving her hands around his body, squeezing each flabby fold.

Yet she did not say anything... just gently smiled at him. To be honest this might go down in her memory as one of the best nights of her life, given her lifespan that's impressive.

Make Strikes Legal

Representative Todd Russ (R), introduced House Bill 2214 which would ban any school employee from striking while restricting their pay. This goes on to also revoke their license as educators. “It shall be illegal for the board of education or school district employees to strike or threaten to strike or otherwise close schools or interfere with school operations as a means of resolving differences with the board of education, the State Department of Education, the State Board of Education, the Legislature or any other public official or public body. Any person engaging in a strike, shutdown or related activities shall be denied the full amount of his or her wages during the period of such violation.” House Bill 2214. This is not only happening in Oklahoma but in other states in the US. Even though private-sector workers generally have a right to strike under federal law, state law can make it illegal for teachers to strike otherwise.

There are also multiple examples throughout history showing why making striking and protesting illegal will NOT stop them. People wouldn’t have to rely on striking as a primary resource if their pleas were actually acknowledged and put into action. Despite all consequences from losing pay for a few days to being jailed for up to 6 months people will still choose to fight for the future. The National War Labor Board permitted a nationwide formula that set how large a raise unions could obtain in bargaining. These raises were not kept up-to-date with inflation thus workers still were being underpaid. As a result of this, workers protested without the authorization of a union, so they could protest for their OWN pay and rights.

“In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order giving most federal employees the right to bargain collectively over some working conditions, but not wages, and he barred them from striking. For years, postal workers seethed about low pay, and their frustration boiled over after members of Congress received a 41 percent raise in 1969.” This act showed where the balance of wage was being thrown into for the postal service workers. On March 18, 1970, the postal service staged a walkout in New York within days more than 150,000 of the nation’s 600,000 postal workers had joined them, illegally striking together. When Nixon signed the Postal Reorganization Act that summer, they received an additional 8 percent raise.

“State officials unhappy about the recent strikes have realized the same thing: They can’t really punish or replace the teachers. They’re too popular, there are too many to replace, and if state officials try to jail a few ringleaders, that might spur new strikes.” So let’s not rewrite the same mistakes, making striking illegal will not stop the outcry or the problem. You cannot silence a whole state of workers supported by almost their entire population and expect no repercussions.

Amendment 73 and Colorado

Image: https://www.motherjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/colorado-teacher-protests-42318.jpg?w=990 David Zalubowski/AP and Edwin RiosIn Colorado, teachers are struggling to get the wages they deserve. Arizona, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Virginia took the largest wage penalties this year and found that “good benefits” were no longer excuses large enough to pay the rent. 

Colorado found their fault when it came to Amendment 73 that was voted on to help fund their 2019-2020 school years this bill was rejected by 55% of voters. “Of the ballot measures that voters failed to approve, the one in Colorado was the most significant. The measure, which would have added $1.6 billion to education funding in FY 2019–2020”. This amendment would’ve raised taxes for residents making more than $150,000 per year, raise the corporate income tax rate, and create the Quality Public Education Fund. The rejection was due to the fear of loss in the economy in Colorado due to wealthy residents leaving. Many also argued that it would hurt small businesses making more than 500,000 dollars but revenues from the tax increase would go into a newly created Quality Public Education Fund. It adds new money but also makes up for money lost to schools over the past decade. Money that hasn’t been stolen from smaller businesses or wealthy residents but from students and teachers. Gradually, the rejection inspired thousands of parents, teachers and community members to knock on doors, man phones, text, or send postcards. “They pointed to Colorado’s below-average per-pupil spending, low teachers’ salaries, large class sizes, and the fact that more than half of districts are on four-day weeks. While many teachers said they didn’t like politics or getting politically engaged they felt they had no choice. The spring walkouts raised public awareness about working conditions, like schools with asbestos, bathrooms without stall doors, overcrowded classes, and students with mental health needs who aren’t being helped.” Because schools were not given proper funding many were operating at 2008 funding levels. During this time, students’ needs are also higher and districts are confronted with new standards, tests, and a new teacher evaluation law. 

Through their movements, they were able to improve students’ lives and their own. They brought base per-pupil funding is increased from $6,769 to $7,300 per student, a 7.8 percent increase which brought Colorado closer to the average rate in the US per-pupil. "Adequate funding, fighting for equitable funding and making sure that every student has the opportunities they need to thrive, we know that that's not about one day. It's not about one election. It's not about one year,” Lisa Weil explained to the Colorado Public Radio Staff, “It is a movement.”
