CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Teachers and supporters returned to the Capitol Wednesday, standing outside the Senate chamber, chanting “liar liar, pants on fire,” and “we don’t trust you.”

When announcing a proposal Tuesday evening to end the teacher-school service personnel walkout, Gov. Jim Justice said he hoped Wednesday would be a “cooling off” day before teachers return to the classroom Thursday. However, it was not to be.

As of 12:30 p.m., 3,300 visitors came through the public entrances, according to the West Virginia Division of Military Affairs and Public Safety.
