There is also the reality that schools function as community centers and resources. Privatizing this space would play a huge role in taking away the only social/political space available to the poor.

Michael: "Teachers are (mostly) public employees. Aren't they all pretty much
under the gun?"

[WS:] Probably, but it seems that teachers are getting special
attention, certainly more than TSA employees with whom adults interact
more, and in more unpleasant ways, than with teachers.  However, as
Graeber observed, most Americans seem to have particular reverence for
cops, and TSA is not unionized - so that may make a difference.
