Colorado teachers rallied for a second day at the capitol in Denver on Friday, April 27, as part of a walkout over education funding. Thousands of students from nearly 30 school districts did not have school on Friday, a news report said.

Thousands of teachers were at the capitol, most clad in red, as Gov John Hickenlooper addressed the crowd and promised to increase education funding. Democrats in general support increased funding, but Republicans oppose a significant increase.
