Yes. Absolutely. State hired teachers can only be revolutionary as workers, not as teachers. to teach is to socialize children into docile workers. No two ways about it. If you slip in some radical education between graded group work and Smarter Balance prep, that's you--as a worker--choosing not to teach. If you go on strike, you're refusing to teach, as a worker.

There's lots of revolutionary workers employed as teachers, but the only revolutionary teachers are the ones facilitating book clubs, and holding bullhorns.
