Here’s a quick [Cato Daily Podcast chat](https://www.cato.org/multimedia/cato-daily-podcast/are-new-teacher-uprisings-justified) with [Neal McCluskey](https://www.cato.org/people/neal-mccluskey) about the recent teacher uprisings in Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, Kentucky, and West Virginia. How justified are they?

Neal goes through some of the data [here](https://www.cato.org/blog/show-me-education-money), [here](https://www.cato.org/blog/show-me-education-money-part-ii), and [here](https://www.cato.org/blog/show-me-education-money-part-iii).
