What's Next For Arizona's #RedForEd Movement?

It was a historic moment when thousands of Arizona teachers walked out of the classrooms and on to the Capitol grounds.

The educators spent six days demanding the state Legislature to restore education funding to pre-recession levels. The walkout eventually ended with Gov. Doug Ducey signing into law a budget that he said will give teachers a 20 percent raise by 2020.

But if social media is to be believed, the fight for classroom funding is far from over. Arizona Republic editor Wyatt Buchanan joined The Show to talk about what's ahead for what’s ahead for the #RedForEd movement.
