DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A strong showing is expected in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, as more people join the sweeping movement sparked by Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Demonstrators with the Occupy L.A. group have been living in tents outside of City Hall for about two weeks protesting against what they call corporate greed.
On Tuesday, the teacher's union will join Occupy L.A. in a march to LAUSD headquarters where the school board will be meeting. They are looking to start a second occupation site to protest teacher layoffs.
The union wants the district to re-hire the 1,200 teachers and other school workers that were laid off earlier this year.
"One of the main points of Occupy L.A. is to protect the public's sphere," said teacher Marcy Winograd. "That we share a public arena and it should be protected from corporate influence."
Winograd says one major issue is corporate charters defunding public education in LAUSD.

I heard a sound bite on the radio from a woman who claimed to be a teacher in Los Angeles complaining about the JEWISH bankers in NY. She should have been fired for that comment.
she absolutely should be fired.
She has alot going for her though...she is female. She is black. She is tenured. Most importantly...she is liberal.
No doubt - her status among her peers has improved greatly.
I'll be even more blunt. Teachers in our socialist government schools are traitors to our nation or Useful Idiots! ( Yes, I really mean it.)
Only a traitor or a Useful Idiot would willingly agree to work a job that teaches children to think and reason godlessly. All government schools in this nation are godless. Merely by attending children **must** reason and think godlessly just to cooperate with the classroom, read and understand their textbooks, and do assignments.
Only a traitor to the nation, or a Useful Idiot would teach children to be comfortable with socialism. ALL government schools in this nation are socialist! All of them are socialist-funded. When children attend they learn that the government uses its threat of police threat to take money from a neighbor for their socialist tuition-free schooling. Well?...If government police threat can dole out tuition-free socialist schooling, why not lots of socialist stuff?
Personally, I have totally eliminated all teachers teaching in our socialist schools as friends. They are either too evil or too stupid to be my friend.
There will likely be some stupid teacher or their spouse who will say, “I prayed about it and I am able to sneak in some Christian principles.” Well!....These stupid people are teaching an important lesson. They are teaching the children that Christians are SNEAKY hypocrites will sell their principles for a paycheck and cushy pension.
well played.
