West Virginia teachers should be grateful they don't work in Oklahoma, the one place pay is lower. Damn libtards.

Majority? You haven’t been to WV. You’re ignoring the Huntington-Charleston-Morgantown middle (ok, Huntington’s a bit off) areas, The SE corner is what comes to mind as traditional Appalachia. Almost entirely poor sounds good, but is inaccurate. A better characterization might be “quickly becoming poorer and less educated.”

I love teachers, and like to see them compensated fairly. I also like school districts that provide supplies for students.

Since we are talking about Kristen Schaal. I would urge everyone who hasnt already to watch Gravity Falls. Its one of the best cartoons of the last five years and Schaal voices Mabel. My favorite character. "Remember! Reality's an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold! Byeeee"

Exactly. You can't expect people who are from the Heartland and represent Heartland voters to share "coastal urban" values.

"Heartland Democrats to Washington: You’re Killing Us"New report blames elitist national party for alienating voters, and threatening the party's chances in 2020.

The four-day school week really fucks with parents’ ability to work full time.
