If they don’t open, is his wife still going to get paid?

As someone living in a conservative state, the number of teachers I know that vote for local, state, and national officials that do everything they can to defund education and cut tax revenue for their own schools... well, it’s honestly astounding

Edit:

To people saying “WeLl ThEy StAnD bY tHeIr PrInCiPleS!” as an argument for why this makes sense. They felt education was important enough to devote their lives to teaching but don’t feel it’s important to have enough funding so their schools aren’t crumbling. They allow their principle of “I don’t like taxes” to take priority over their principles to educate.

And to those that said “ThEy DoN’t JuSt VoTe FoR tHeIr InTeReSts!” Well I’d argue the most selfish thing they can do is to vote for less taxes on themselves. Fucking asking the community to properly fund their schools is not selfish as they ain’t gonna get a pay raise (that’s for fucking sure) and countless children and families benefit from better education.

I have an ultra conservative friend who thinks teachers are overpaid and schools get too many "handouts". His wife is a teacher.
