- Oklahoma teachers returned to classrooms today after two weeks spent protesting years of underfunding for public schools. Their efforts won some important gains and fed a powerful movement of educators insisting on support for their schools and a living wage for themselves. “The nation has watched and fallen in love with these everyday heroes who have walked out of schools and bombarded state capitols to demand more for our students and our schools,” writes AFT President Randi Weingarten in USA Today. The effort continues with the “Remember in November” campaign to elect pro-education candidates, led by Oklahoma City AFT, AFT-Oklahoma and the AFT.
