Republicans in Arizona were blasted for attacking public school teachers in a new column by E.J. Montini of The Arizona Republic.
He noted that Republican state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita called teachers “educational terrorists” and Republican gubernatorial candidate Matt Salmon said they are “a scourge on our society.”
“So, teachers are the problem? Has Salmon not been paying attention to what the Arizona Legislature and lawmakers like Ugenti-Rita have done to the state’s public school system over the past several years?” he asked. “As in, wreck it.”
