[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3107245, member: 24"] Why are you missing that they passed that bill BEFORE.... again... it was passed BEFORE the walkout. Psssst..... BEFORE. The walkout was then continued because the funding wasn't close to the 200 million they needed for the classroom. This was plastered ALL over the news nearly 24/7. I don't know how else to say this. [URL]http://www.newson6.com/story/37951490/timeline-of-oklahoma-teacher-walkout-2018[/URL] Here's a timeline. Took me 5 secs to find BTW. Now the bulk of the funding was passed on March 29. A majority of this was the teacher funding, which you're beating your chest about for some reason. Stay with me...... THAT WAS BEFORE THE WALKOUT. Now this wasn't enough to come near the 200 million needed. Now to simplify what happened in terms of legislature FOR the schools AFTER the walkout started was as follows. April 2. Walkout. April 3 Appropriations bill April 4 Amazon tax bill passes house of representatives April 6 Amazon tax bill and Ball and Dice bill pass senate. $5 hotel tax voted down. Teachers want capital gains tax exemption ended. Amazon Bill (20million) Ball and Dice Bill (~20million) Hotel tax (50 million) <----didn't pass Capital gains tax exemption ended (100 million) <----- didn't pass Now, look how close that adds up to 200 million? Which is what I said they wanted for the schools? Psssst again... Teacher salary hike had already passed, got an amount of what they wanted for salaries, not nearly enough for school funding. They remained, and yes given the situation of the schools... gasp... it was for the kids. They got 40 million additional by remaining on the walkout. Wasn't enough, but whether you like it or not, that's why they remained and they stated so every day. In a nutshell your whole theory is blown out of the water by the facts. Again this is common knowledge for people who live here and watched the whole thing play out. [/QUOTE]
