Teachers paraded around the parking lot of the Prince William County Public Schools headquarters on Wednesday, October 7 with child-sized coffins mounted to their vehicles.

Two small coffins, one black and the other white, were on top of SUVs that were part of the “Mobilize to Survive” caravan, organized by the Prince William Education Association. The protesters drove around and honked their car horns while children and parents looked on, and county School Board members sat inside the building during a closed meeting.
