Iranian Teachers' Strike Expands

As reported by Pajamas Media:

Teachers have been striking across Iran for at least the last
eleven weeks, with many teachers arrested, according to the AKI Italian news agency and other sources familiar to Pajamas Media. The
teachers are seeking higher wages (they have not been raised in years) and the
reinstatement over a thousand colleagues who were forced into “early retirement”
for disagreeing with the policies of the Islamic regime.

Hundreds of protesters have been beaten up and jailed,
Pajamas Media has learned. The following video shows a recent teacher’s
demonstration in front of the Iranian Parliament in Tehran. Banners and placards
demand the regime pay teachers a fair wage and protest discrimination against
Iran’s minorities in their educational system. Protesters can be heard demanding
the release of imprisoned teachers and shouting “Proclaimers of Justice!… Shame,
shame, shame on you!”

As the Theocratic Iranian Regime heads toward a crackup, there must be something to take its place. This is another reason why our mission in Iraq is so vital, that we can ensure it won't be another Taliban-like dictatorship, but a Western-style democracy, which live at peace with her neighbors.
