Rep. Todd Russ, R-Cordell, has taken the wrong lesson from last years statewide teacher strike.
Russ House Bill 2214 would make similar strikes illegal. Teachers and superintendents who took part in any future strike, shutdown or related activities would lose their pay and have their teaching certificates permanently revoked, under Russ proposal.
Current law makes teacher strikes against their local school districts illegal, but Russ proposal would add bans as a means of resolving differences with ... the Legislature or any other public official or public body.
So, regardless of how schools are funded, teachers would be required to report to work every day or risk losing their professional credentials.

Why does any competent educator even want to work in that s*%thole of a state? Add to that, why would anyone want to live there at all? What does it have to offer besides crazy religious fanatics, gun nuts and um.....
I'd rather eat a bullet than have to live there.

hundreds of thousands of dollars. Perhaps a law that requires the knuckleheads who write, sponsor,
and vote for those clearly unconstitutional laws should get the honor of personally paying for all the
costs and fees incurred in the litigation.
