    I didn’t start out intending to make a plea for equitable pay for teachers, but it’s a message that can’t be emphasized strongly enough. Teachers are front-line workers facing steep odds, including the risk of being fired for informing children about any number of issues that shouldn’t be controversial but somehow are in our narrow-minded nation. They are life preservers and life enhancers, and they should be compensated accordingly!

      I believe engineers are under paid.

        As a former teacher driven out because I’m queer, agreed!!!!

        I enjoyed this one! Found it a bit tricky, which is great. I loved how you clued 23-D. I love Bobbie Gentry, and that was a funny nod to Green Day too.
