A state lawmaker quoted as saying it's a "Biblical principle" that teacher salaries should not be raised says his remarks are being taken out of context. State Senator Shadrack McGill says he's been hearing from teachers who are "outraged' that he would make such a statement. McGill was speaking at a prayer breakfast in Fort Payne earlier this week when he said--quote--"If you double a teacher's pay scale, you'll attract people who aren't called to teach." The senator now claims he only meant that things should be kept in balance and says it would be ridiculous to suggest that you can't raise a teacher's pay because of Biblical principles.
