Monday I attended the Wayne-Westland Teachers picket. They are in the middle of intense contract negotiations.
If educators are pushing back there is good reason.

In the early 1940s Hamtramck teachers went on strike over the firing of over 40 married teachers ("to balance the budget"), threats to fire any other teacher who married, and school board corruption.

Last week, I introduced SB 1127-28, which would enable more expectant parents to receive prenatal care in a group-based setting, such as through birth classes through CenteringPregnancy.🧵 1/3
