Notice the black shirts? The ones worn by Ontario teachers? Well those black shirts are the only way teachers in Ontario can protest Bill 115 because they have resently become voiceless and stripped of their right to speech during the most vital time of their careers.
Bill 115 was created by Ontario's Premier Dalton McGuinty in order to eliminate the most basic of freedoms from teachers saying that they "cost too much". Ask yourself the following question:
"Is any amount of money in the hands of the Provincial Government worth more than the education of Ontario's children and future leaders?"

Further Reading:
Bill 115 is a bill that was passed by the Liberal Government in the province of Ontario. This bill cuts teachers' wages and caps the yearly income of teachers. The bill also cuts down the amount of sick days teachers may take every year and takes away their ability to bank their sick days. Most importantly, this bill takes away the teacher's right to strike for the next 2 years. With no voice, the students are here to break that silence. As an act of protest the teachers' union has decided to no longer hold extra curricular activities at participating schools. Teachers have a big hand in student development. Many of their activities taking place after and during school are done voluntarily. It is from the kindness of their own hearts. We as students not only speak for ourselves but we also stand with and for the teachers that have educated us.
