Shouts From Educators Fill The Oklahoma Rotunda

The Oklahoma Education Association encouraged teachers and education advocates to fill the halls of the State Capitol building on day two of the school shutdown.

Teachers have set up a stand and are chanting slogans like "our kids are worth it" and "fund-er up!"  They also say they plan to be at the capitol Wednesday.

It's not just Oklahoma teachers who are attending the rally. News On 6 spoke to teachers from Illinois and Minnesota who came to support the rally for education funding.
