This week, Kim Reynolds tweeted out her support of Iowa teachers, and Iowans who remember what she and Branstad did to teachers were not having it.
Thank you to all of Iowa’s teachers who help our children build better, brighter futures for themselves & our state! ???#iagov #TeacherAppreciationDay #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ThankATeacher

Wow.
You show your “appreciation” in some truly awful ways.

?… Then maybe don’t bleed our rural school dry & take away the ability for teachers to bargain for basic rights. You Governor, are a failure and will be replaced in Nov. #IAgov #IAlegis

Hey @IAGovernor if you really want to #ThankATeacher you should stop cutting our salaries, gutting our schools, taking away our bargaining rights, and threatening our retirement #TeacherAppreciationWeek #iagov

If you wanted to appreciate teachers, you wouldn’t have taken away their collective bargaining rights.

Kim Reynolds’ education budget gave schools $32 million this year.
Her tax plan gave millionaires $82 million in new tax breaks and $480+ million in corporate tax giveaways. Yikes, Kim. https://t.co/1Fo1WXOFfq

Next time, Gov. Reynolds, consider how your own policies are hurting a group of people before trying to blatantly pander to them.
