Steve Sailer tweeted "Establishment Democrat gubernatorial candidate in Virginia declares war upon his own voting base: nice white lady public schoolteachers."
Emerald Robinson chimed in with "Liberal white women are the Democrat base. Many of them are public school teachers, so I’m delighted to hear that they’re getting canceled too!"

And finally, Affirmative Action is less of a thing in teaching, because promotion is less of a thing. The Grade 8 teacher with thirty years on the job gets paid more, but is doing basically the same thing she did when she started.
There's an exception to that, though:
