Sanders blasts the GOP for ignoring the financial problems public school teachers face, dismissing children that are suffering in harsh realities and so much more. Sanders delivers a powerful speech wanting to support public school teachers in epic fashion.

[@neu-ter]

as a former teacher Bernie I promise you that those guys don't want the kids to flourish they want them to be workers they don't want them to be thinkers money has always been the priority of our country I don't think that's a surprise to anybody

[@darrenivak4536]

Attaboy Bernie we love you❤❤❤ keep it real in the people will follow

[@neosandy]

Teachers should be the highest paid profession. It's shameful what we pay them.

[@Br3ntable]

🇺🇸 we must invest in our children's education. Teachers must be properly compensated more than just barely above minimum wage.

[@dromancer1994]

Man I loved being gaslit about Bernie’s age before, my boy still spitting facts for the PEOPLE!

[@vikingsreach]

Thanks Bernie for taking the job serious we need more people like you running this country. Voting 💙 Blue.

This is the president we deserved

[@petersulewski]

he was what we needed. America got what we deserved because we didn't back him when he needed us to vote for us

[@ronkresch9228]

Thanks Bernie from a retired teacher...28 years in the classroom.....but $60k a year is not nearly enough...unless you have taught you have no idea how many challenges there are

[@andrewvelonis5940]

Where I live, one could live handsomely on that. In NYC one would barely be able to survive.

trump just said he wants to cut education in half… please don’t vote for that man. And also don’t vote in a way that would result a trump win. Bernie has already told you as such.

I'm an AZ school board member. Our district is a bastion of sanity. We don't deal with the G Agenda, CRT, DEI which is wrecking school kids. Keep the politics out and the public will regain trust with their kids. We have half our teachers from the Philippines and Mexico. That's how we deal with the $$ issues. It's really a simple solution...

[@LusyPicker-sm6su]

​@@comicbookchris3509No chris, you are not an AZ school board member. You don't know anything about education. Your statement's premise is rediculous and it is evident you have no idea what you're talking about. All you've made clear is that you are a racist prick. You don't even live in Arizona.

[@onefatstratcat]

GET EM' BERNIE!!!

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

As a retired teacher I can tell you the problem is much deeper. Unless we address the child care and necessity for 2-3 income problem more stress will be dropped on teachers. Teachers are left to raise children while contending with overwhelming bureaucracy. Teachers spend every spare hour writing curriculum and advancing their skills.

[@comicbookchris3509]

We've solved the teacher shortage by having half our teachers from the Philippines and Mexico. They are great teachers who appreciate being here. They don't dump their politics onto impressionable children.

[@brucebennett5338]

Full federal funding for all public education nation-wide now! The idea of tying public school funding to local property taxes is an idiotic recipe for inequality. Mad respect, Senator Sanders and the educators you have as witnesses.

Thomas Jefferson argued that to have a successful democracy, the general populace needed to be educated. This would help the society and government run more efficiently and ward off a potentially tyrannical government.

[@herlandercarvalho]

Who said republicans want a successful democracy? I think it's pretty obvious that republicans (and right wing in general all around the world) wants to keep the general population uneducated so they are easier to control and manipulate. Also why, they are anti-abortion. The more children a family has, the less ability they will have to raise them properly and offer each one of them, proper education.

Hate to day it Senator Sanders, the teachers that try to teach in poverty districts, get no, absolutely no back up, from the school, the neighborhood or the parents of the students. Why try, when you DON'T GET PAID, let alone have Any support. ? Why, who would do that ? Those teachers that try get tossed out everyday. Why would anyone deal with that ? Teachers are smart people. They get worn out like any of us would. Why do they care when everthing around them doesn't. Go make a living, nobody needs this.

[@LoveAshleyChristine]

Wait a minute. Correct me if I'm wrong, though I'm sure we just watched the same video. He literally just addressed what you said and is trying to draw attention to it so that the government can step up their game and help. So what is it you are saying "go make a living, nobody needs this" to? Because he is trying to bring help and money to these teachers.

[@tristyy404]

According to whom? Stop using old and conservative talking points and think logically. Districts containing mainly low income families, single income families, families that fall below the poverty line, etc are just as poor if not poorer that the district. People working 2 jobs don’t have time to go to their kids school, their working to put food on the table and take care of their kids. Parents showing up is great but they need FUNDING & that comes from the government. Funding is the root cause to all of it.
