Oklahoma educators went viral when a video of them singing "We're Not Gonna Take It" at the Capitol was posted online.

Snider Tweeted "I totally support" the cause.

While I totally support underpaid teacher's cause, it is kind of weird that a song that was on the "Filthy 15" is now every oppressed groups battlecry. #GODBLESSAMERICA! https://t.co/G7PBHpgsIZ
