In three weeks, six L.A. Unified employees have been booked on suspicion of sex-related crimes. The Miramonte episode has sparked some people to come forward and others to be more watchful, police say.......

....In the past, district officials would never reveal what happened to a teacher who was dismissed or removed until they had to — they often cited the employee's privacy rights and a fear of litigation.

But now, some district officials, including school board member Nury Martinez, are insisting that parents and campus colleagues have a right to know what allegedly happened.............

Union lawyers repeatedly protect criminals who prey on children.

As Newt said during the Mesa, AZ debate:

..... "We bought the mistake that the teachers unions actually cared about the kids. It's increasingly clear they care about protecting bad teachers.

And if you look at L.A. Unified, it is almost criminal what we do to the poorest children in America, entrapping them into places. No Nation Left Behind said if a foreign power did this to our children, we'd declare it an act of war because they're doing so much damage.".....

Are they implying that this happens at every LA school??

Maybe we should shut down the whole thing!

The unions just move them to other schools (hush-hush).

Yes. There is no teaching going on. It's money laundering to the Democratic Party with the added "sweetner" that they indoctrinate your children (mind, soul and body).

I know there are great, selfless, dedicated teachers but the public school model is rotted.

We need to shift to a private voucher system so parents and children can escape these monsters. Make they stop talking dirty to the kids in the name of sex education and social engineering, too.
