Layoff Notices Sent to Thousands of US Teachers

~








Hundreds of thousands of public school teachers across the United States are facing possible layoffs this coming academic year.

Pink slips were sent out to 22,000 teachers in California, 17,000 in Illinois, and 15,000 in New York. The jobs of 8,000 school employees in Michigan, 6,000 in New Jersey, and 5,000 in Oklahoma may also be axed.


Webmaster's Commentary:

The US lays off thousands of teachers, but this country still shells out 3 billion dollars a year to Israel and billions more for unnecessary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our country has money for weapons for Israel and money for the military industrial complex, but no money to teach our children.

What is wrong with this picture?!?
