10,000 South Carolina teachers, supporters march on the Statehouse






COLUMBIA — Some 10,000 teachers and supporters assembled on a school day Wednesday in South Carolina’s state capital to protest, march and speak for improved working conditions.

The turnout matched one of the largest Statehouse crowds in recent memory. About 10,000 also turned out in 2015 to watch the Confederate flag being removed from the grounds.

If there was one slogan that summed up the frustrations and aspirations of the day it was a chant that teachers repeated again and again, thundering at the base of the Statehouse steps:

“We teach. We vote.”
