        My sister's one of the Colorado teachers - their Republican legislators are sorely in need of a remedial education. This is so ridiculous that I can't even articulate my anger and disgust! #ColoradoStudentsDeserve #classroomsnotcorporations #FundOurSchoolsCO @jceacolorado

        Sadly, many brainwashing Socialist teachers need to go away!

        Not OK. Especially from a progressively leaning state. #UniteBlue #TeachBetter #Teachers

        Instead of working to fix the problem they would rather fine the teachers and send them to jail? Sounds like a Republican solution to a problem! What is it about Americans that Republicans hate so much that they would actually consider this as a solution?

        Fear is their main motivator and pretty much always has been.

        I don't understand this animus towards teachers unless the real animosity is towards public education (or eduction at all). A country that neglects education is a country that has given up on its future.

        "Republicans would rather pay to throw teachers in jail than pay them to teach." Voters would rather put some legislators in jail than pay them to legislate.
