We stand united angainst a bill that is unconstitutional. We don't live in North Korea last time I checked. We are fighting for the right to collectively bargain not a pay raise or more time off. This bill affects everyone not just teachers. we are just the beginning. Sometimes big issues cause you to make tough decisions. No one likes this. But that is why we are called a "union" . There is power in numbers. In stead of bashing try supporting the people who have given countless hours to FRC because they love it too. Try to see the big picture of how this bill is affecting the educational system. FRC is pretty small in the grand scheme of things.

I think its sad that the students have been put forward in an issue they have no role in. This is between the teachers/unions and the government not the students. When the students suffer in the school system, neither side is doing their job properly.
As a former student, I would have been devastated if my senior year I wasn't allowed to compete or if this was my year to work for a scholarship through a sport to pay for college.
Hoping for the best guys its sad to see this happening!
