Teachers hold sit-in protest at Texas Capitol to demand changes on reopening schools

Title (Dublin Core)

Teachers hold sit-in protest at Texas Capitol to demand changes on reopening schools

Description (Dublin Core)

On Wednesday, July 16th, 2020 Austin, Texas area teachers held a sit in/protest around the state capital building to express their fear of being forced to go back to in person school this fall. School begins in one month.
Having personally watched this protest be planned I know that the reason they chose this location was because they could not get onto the capital grounds. Entrance to the grounds are barricaded and National Guard troops are present. I also know that TEA, Texas Education Agency, has announced they will work from home until January 2021. How can they look out for themselves but send precious students and teachers back to work?
