Al Jazeera: Teachers in the US states of Arizona and Colorado left their classrooms on Thursday to call for better pay and increases in public school funding.Tens of thousands of educators marched through the streets of Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, demanding that legislators fix a number of issues, including low educator salaries and overcrowded classrooms with more than 30 students per teacher. In an April 19 poll by the Arizona Education Association (AEA) and grassroots organising group Arizona Educators United, 78 percent of 57,000 educators voted in support of the walkout. It is the first in the state’s history. Meanwhile, teachers in Colorado also protested on Thursday, resulting in the closure of several school districts, according to local media. Schools across the United States have seen their budgets slashed since the economic downturn of 2007, known as the Great Recession. Teachers in the US states of Arizona and Colorado left their classrooms on Thursday to call for better pay and increases in public school funding. The protests in Arizona and Colorado follow similar demonstrations in West Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky.
Vox: A newly released secret recording shows a rare glimpse into the Democratic Party’s strategy of boosting certain candidates in primaries across the country as the party enters a competitive 2018 election with a shot at taking back the US House of Representatives. The recording, first reported by the Intercept’s Lee Fang, features House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat, who has been campaigning and fundraising on behalf of many candidates. Hoyer was secretly recorded by Levi Tillemann, a progressive Democrat running in Colorado’s Sixth District, as the two met at a Denver Hilton. In the recording, Hoyer is heard saying, “Staying out of primaries sounds small-D democratic, very intellectual, and very interesting. But it was clear that it was our policy and our hope that, early on, try to come to an agreement on a candidate that we thought could win the general, and to give that candidate all the help we could give them.”
