Delaware’s War on Teachers (and other public employees)

Delaware teachers make $4,000 a year less now than that did 15 years ago. Adjusted for inflation, the average teacher pay in Delaware is now $60,214 down from $64,176 in 2003. That's a 6% decline. This has been a steady and uncompromising attack on teachers and teaching initiated by Ruth Ann Minner and happily carried out by Jack Markell and John Carney, all in the name of further enriching the state's wealthiest 1%.

Smyk Shits on Shot Students

Steve Smyk really is the worst kind of NRA asslick.
In recent days, we've seen a disturbing increase in the volume of attacks on the students who spoke at the March For Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C. The hate-the-victim narrative goes something like this: These kids are tools of the left-wing media and others with a left-wing agenda. They are professional actors enjoying their 15 minutes of fame. My favorite, straight from the National Review, is that David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland shooting, is a "useful idiot." These talking points drafted by the NRA and its friends are ill-informed, cynical and heartless. And guess who's repeating them? State Rep. Steve Smyk.
