Teachers ban homework, children rejoice
This is no April Fools item. Teachers in America's leftist heartland, Berkeley, California, have announced that they will not assign their students written homework until they receive a pay raise. The local teachers' union initiated the strike and is requiring teachers not to "volunteer" outside of their contracted hours. Already, a Black History Month event has been cancelled and stacks of papers are piling up. Meanwhile, parents have crossed the picket line—those scabs!—to staff a middle-school science fair. As the NEA says, "We teach the children." Except, of course, when we don't.
