Local teachers rally to oppose being 'bullied' by Bevin
A group of retired teachers joined state Rep. Patti Minter, D-Bowling Green, at Western Kentucky University on Tuesday to oppose Republican Gov. Matt Bevin.
“We are standing up to Matt Bevin and his record of bullying educators and disrespecting working families,” Minter said during the latest stop on the Kentucky Democratic Party’s “Won’t Be Bullied by Bevin Tour.”
During the event in WKU’s Cherry Hall, critics excoriated what they described as Bevin’s disrespect for educators and efforts to slash millions in state public education funding and revise teachers’ pension benefits.
Among them was retired teacher Dave Strode, who most recently taught at Richardsville Elementary School before ending his nearly 27-year teaching career last year.
