Well, it’s also kind of shitty teacher pay is based on taxpayer contribution! I get it, publicly funded locally vs federally for ICE, also idk how bad ICE pay was before Trump.
Not to mention the unmentioned difference between number of teachers and number of ICE goons making that salary.
I’m all for teachers making more money. I think pay should be based on need and workload. Teachers rank high in both.
But the argument above is not great argument. It uses something I hate, something I agree with, and makes a false equivalency argument out of both. As inclined as I am to agree, the argument could be a lot better
Federal salary employee that teaches young people to be intelligent members of a future society they’ll grow up to create:
Peasant pay, overloaded classrooms, stripped authority over class disruptors. 😭🍎📚
Federal salary employee that yanks families apart and throws kids in the back of vans to get shipped to concentration camps, and sometimes just shoots people because they were having a bad day and didn’t feel the customer service spirit:

Our taxes fund both and they choose how to spend it.
It shows where the government’s priorities are, and it’s quite telling how they feel about We the People and our children.
We the people are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, among these: Being left TF alone.
But they really can’t seem to handle just letting people be, can they? They’ve always gotta be manipulating and incarcerating and exploiting and killing others to feel like they’re worth anything.
What are you trying to say? Public school teacher’s salaries are funded federally. Also, the cost of the Iran War alone could help pay teachers more. Instead trump’s goon squad is cutting education and making it more christian.
The truth is that it depends on whether the teacher is working for a private or a public school. If he or she belongs to a public school, the money he receives comes from the government, related and concerned government agencies, and the taxes of the people of the United States. Same goes for all the maintenance crew, cafeteria servants, guards, and all the staff of the school. On the other hand, teachers who work for a private school get their salary from the school itself. The money being paid to them comes from the students
Your source doesn’t state that the money comes from the federal government. It says broadly that it comes from the people of the United States, this is true, typically school taxes are levied by the local government and disbursed to the the school to make payroll.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the federal government provides less than 10% of total funding for public K-12 education. The source you provided uses ‘government’ as a catch-all term, but in practice, school boards and local property taxes are what determine and pay teacher salaries. Unless a teacher is working in a high-poverty school receiving Title I federal grants, their paycheck is almost entirely funded by the specific taxpayers in their city and state, not the federal treasury.
Public schools receive funding from three different
government sources: local, state, and federal. Local and
state governments contribute the majority of funding
to support public school systems, while the federal
government provides a small fraction (only about 8% on
average). Even with recent infusions of federal funding
related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal share
remains the smallest.

I shouldn’t have to fucking care what they think about me and my children. God fucking damn it.
Absolutely.

No usually teacher’s salaries are from local city taxes whereas ICE is federal.
You might-be thinking of Basic-Aid schools which are typically, at least in CA, in wealthy zip codes.
Did you see that I sourced it, lol?

You’re right

Three different sources of funding and teachers are still having to buy their own class supplies with already meager incomes.
What a freaking disgrace.
