Pay discrimination based on sex is illegal and should not be tolerated. I also strongly agree with previous statements made today that women deserve equal pay for equal work.
The Paycheck Fairness Act is not designed to protect women. It is a false promise that rates opportunities and advantages for lawyers and not for working women.
It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Teachers and students deserve the best working and learning environments money can buy.
I have argued publicly several times before that teachers should be paid more.
