One last thing, since you seem to be so ignorant of how the rest of this works: when people say it would be "illegal" for the teachers to participate in a political walkout they don't mean the teachers would go to jail, they mean the teachers would be fired. Unions. Look them up.
Look, the distinction is fucking meaningless for this discussion. Unionized strike or not, the point was the answers I received were shown to be meaningless in light of recent events. That's it. That point holds regardless of what you call it.

Your pedantry is really just MRA "well-actually" in disguise. It bears no relevance to the discussion whatsoever. Call it a walkout, call it a strike, call it a spontaneous vacation for all I care, it doesn't actually matter, nor does the legal standing of any of those things.

Student walkouts are political protests. Union strikes are about a breakdown in negotiations between a union and management/the government. Where unions are involved strikes can't just be about whatever they feel like. 1/

So yes, if you're going to compare WV strikes to student walkouts, there are differences that matter.

I... wasn't ever doing that?
-
And even if I was... it doesn't matter? The point is teachers should stop working until meaningful change is made: political, workplace safety, or however you want to frame it, regardless of the legality. You're just very proud that you know a distinction between things.

MY whole point is teachers can't do that without being fired!
-
My point is: WHO FUCKING CARES
-
Teachers and their families?
