In an age of international terrorism, war, gang violence and school shootings, it is an absolute outrage that members of the Norfolk Federation of Teachers protested budget cuts by carrying a CASKET!!
It’s a budget cut. A national recession means government revenues are down. Protesting a lack of raises and some job losses, most of which will be through attrition, is one thing.
But protesting by carrying a casket when too many families in this military community have to do it FOR REAL is an insult to every hero’s family.
Apologize now!
