LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- On the eve of a one-day strike for teachers in the Little Rock School District, some national figures are weighing in on the situation.

As seen on Twitter Wednesday was two 2020 Presidential candidates:

I stand with the Little Rock teachers making their voices heard for collective bargaining rights. We should be strengthening the voices of teachers in our public schools. https://t.co/wHS24mvaPi

I'm proud to stand in solidarity with @LREAintheRock in their fight to protect Little Rock public schools. Together, we will defeat this shameful and undemocratic effort to privatize and re-segregate Little Rock's schools. https://t.co/JIPPejNEMW
