A teachers’ union is facing mockery over a tweet it shared featuring a message about a strike — which included a dance video.

On Thursday, United Teachers Los Angeles wrote in a tweet, “Theres nothing more beautiful and powerful than organized workers fighting for justice.”

“We are writing a new chapter for LA Public Schools,” it added.

Meanwhile, another person responded, “Really? Nothing? I dunno, I think teaching kids might be more beautiful and powerful. Equipping the next generation? Enlightening the future? Handing down knowledge and wisdom so our children can succeed? No? Anybody? Bueller?”

The dance video was posted on the last day of the strike in Los Angeles, California, which shut down the Los Angeles Unified School District for three days.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the union members were advocating for a 30% across-the-board salary increase, and a $2-per-hour raise for the lowest-paid workers.
