The #AmericanTeachersAct seeks to raise the salary of #teachers across the U.S. to a minimum of $60k. As the husband of a teacher here in #louisiana, I have been witnessing the rapid decline of a profession over the past 5 years. How can we demand our teachers be highly educated and devoted yet pay them 25% less than similarly educated professionals?

McSweeney's - A Note about the American Teacher Act: "A few days ago, a bill was introduced by Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson and Congressman Jamaal Bowman called the American Teacher Act. If passed, it would ensure that all teachers in the U.S. would make at least $60,000. I hope you will lend it your support in any way you can." https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-note-about-the-american-teacher-act #Teachers #AmericanTeachersAct #TeacherPay
