If you want to see the most egregious fallout from the so-called Republican revolution of the 1980s, look no further than the way we treat our public school teachers. When the public school system was originally established, teaching was considered “woman’s work” and their pay was set accordingly low. It was considered to be a second income in a family. And there it has stayed. With tax cut after tax cut, public schools have been repeatedly and progressively more underfunded. We have known for years how teachers have been purchasing supplies, etc., out of their own pockets, now we learn from a feature article in a recent issue of The Nation Magazine how teachers in high rent areas are forced to take second jobs, like driving for Uber and Lyft, not only to buy supplies, but to pay their rent and put food on the table. And many are still unable to live in the community where they teach. It is hard to imagine a situation more disgraceful. And do any of our presidential candidates have an answer?
