Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced legislation on Thursday that would make the minimum pay for public school teachers in the U.S. $60,000 a year, following calls from President Biden to give teachers a raise last month.
The Pay Teachers Act of 2023, co-sponsored by a number of lawmakers including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.), would provide states with federal funds to establish minimum teacher salaries of at least $60,000 a year. It would also triple the funding of the Title I-A program, which provides funding to schools with a high percentage of students that come from low income backgrounds.

There’s no way the Federal Reserve can lower inflation while Congress spends money like my ex-wife.
Why not $600K? Do blacks get more than whites?
The government does not have the right to dictate the salary that an employer pays an employee.
Utterly unconstitutional.
Growing up I remember teachers living in nice houses. Now they need special assistance. I’d blame governments. Zoning, solar requirements, etc. All local.
Teachers are employed and paid by local taxpayers, Sanders can’t trump that at the federal level.
Triple Title 1? That’s unreal. You might as well beg districts to lower test scores so they can get buckets of money.
Id say base it on teachers ability to produce good students. What constitutes a good student is continually getting less and less clear. I mean the avg teachers salary in the US is 60k so giving a boost to good teachers who are only interested in teaching their dedicated classes Id be okay with. Some teachers are worth it, some definitely arent.
Yes, paying off the Teacher’s union.
remove the federal government from education. State and local entities should control all aspects of it.
Even if the employer is the government?
Yet, minimum wage exists.
$60,000 a year in Kali or Missipp?
I’m sick of hearing teachers whine about their pay and work requirements. If you aren’t smart enough to determine that before you take the job, you might not be smart enough for the job.
Shove it in his face by lowering the pay of teachers getting more than $60k to $60k. Hey, the limit is the limit.
Tans-genders, minority teachers get 20% more pay, of course.
“Federal Funds”, aka the Taxpayer dollars, once again to a Unionized support.money-laundering scheme, to keep the socialist/progressive/political system in place and dependency on others FORCED $$$$$ SUPPORT.
HOW is this a federal issue?
Socialism.
