There should be no pay increases until drag shows and CRT are abolished.

Will

Incredibly small minded of you.

Max DeYoung

Thank you Will, but at least I care about the health and safety of the children.

Adam

Keeping them safe and telling them that your way is best are different things. Only teaches them to keep blinders on to the world around them.

Vernon Taylor

Couldn't agree more.

Max DeYoung

Adam, your way applies to both sides of the argument.

This state just put a temporary band-aid on teacher pay that only affects first year teachers. There is no cola raise or state- wide permanent raise for all educators. Missouri is still in the bottom 10 states in the US for pay and nothing permanent is being done.

Felisha

I had no idea MO was in the bottom for teacher pay. I do know they are in the bottom for socialworkers and community based support workers.

Despite annual increases, the minimum wage remains below levels needed to pay for several basic needs, advocates say.

After 3 years of Bidenomics record high inflation, federal min wage should be at least $30/hr. No one can raise a family of 6 on non-living wages less than $30/hr. Just shows Dems care more about open border, benefits for aliens, and LGBTQIA+ (plus includes pedo) issues than working people. FJB

Everyone should be held to the same high standards as the House and the Senate, and receive the same pay. Then everyone could be multimillionaires, after just a few years of making $175,000.

Others argue that minimum wage jobs are entry-level and are often filled by students.

I am so sick of Bidenomics, inflation at the grocery store, gas prices being 20% higher today than historically for this time of year, the open border, wars that should have been avoided, liberal prosecutors not prosecuting criminals, massive increase in homelessness, etc. Rather have mean tweets.

It's still early in the season, with most of the fall and all of the winter still ahead to catch illnesses.
