Amid controversy over woke agendas and declining test scores, a call for higher salaries for America’s public school teachers has gained bipartisan support.

In revisiting an idea first introduced last year by Democrats, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has re-proposed tripling federal funding of teachers’ paychecks that would guarantee them a minimum annual salary of $60,000.
