Good news!

"Nancy Shively is a longtime Republican and a special education teacher in a small town just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma, who works primarily with second and third graders—at least, she was those things, until recently. After watching how the Trump administration botched the coronavirus response, and how poorly both her state and the national government prepared for the school year, she switched her party registration and announced her resignation from her school district."

In an interview, Nancy Shively said:

"In 2018, we had a teacher walkout in Oklahoma, which is kind of our version of a strike.

"I went down to the state Capitol some of those days and watched Republican legislators from my district literally hiding from the teachers because they didn’t want to talk to us.

"On the other hand, the Democratic legislators were perfectly happy to talk to us and gave us some really good advice.

"I’m watching these guys and I’m like, this is not the Republican Party I grew up with. I rationalized to myself that I could stay in the party and cause trouble that way. But when the virus hit and people were actually dying and President Donald Trump was doing nothing, I thought, I cannot stay in this party anymore.
