Teachers across AZ stage "motor marches "

[marybourg]

Teachers started to roll into Encanto Park in Phoenix at 6 p.m. Wednesday. On their cars they'd scrawled “I’d rather see your kids on a laptop than a ventilator,” “teachers are not martyrs,” and “AZ #1 in COVID.”

They were among dozens, if not hundreds, of educators getting behind the wheel to participate in "motor marches" across Arizona on Wednesday evening. The community marches signify a new teacher movement rising, as they protest reopening schools for in-person classes as the number of COVID-19 cases remain high in Arizona.

1. When the public has to chosse between teachers and

lies from team tRump, they will trust the teachers a lot more.

2. Yes. And teachers here in AZ have been radicalized by participating in the "Red 4 Ed"

demonstrations last year and will not be timid in speaking their minds now. I hope.
