Oakland Teachers’ Union Closes Schools to Demand “Reparations”

Just 2 out 10 black and brown students in Oakland public schools can read at grade level

Just as teachers’ union head witch Randi Weingarten is doing her media image rehab tour, California teachers’ unions are determined to remind everyone that they’re monsters who thrive on destroying education inside and outside the classroom.

Oakland teachers went on strike Thursday after seven days of negotiations failed to produce a new contract for the 3,000 members of the Oakland Education Association.

“They’re neglecting their duty,” OEA president Ismael Armendariz said outside Manzanita Elementary School. “The district and the union have been having productive conversations, but the school board has failed to meet give their chief negotiator the authority to bargain with us.”

The school board is “neglecting its duty”, not these overpaid parasites who are shutting down schools and refusing to do their jobs even more so than usual.

Let’s pause for a moment to survey what a great job OEA members are doing and to wonder whether the results would be any worse if they were replaced by wolves or ChatGPT.

…just 2 out 10 black and brown students in Oakland public schools can read at grade level.

Time to give them more money.

So they want reparations so badly?! Then they can just go to Africa, the Middle East and Spain to demand them!

So if they get free money, then the issue is settled forever, right?

Are the parasites being paid when they’re out of the classroom where they pretend to teach?

Oakland Unified School District proudly boasts:
- Top 1% in Diversity
- Top 1% Student Body Size
- Average Math Proficiency: 21%
- Average Reading Proficiency: 56%

Putting some more numbers to that:
- 27,710 of 35,076 students cannot compute.
- 16,135 of 35,076 students cannot read.

Oakland teachers failed. They don’t deserve a raise. They deserve to be fired.

Don’t let your children anywhere near anyone with an Ed degree. School choice is the only choice. Education tax dollars should go directly to parents and parents get the choose how and where their children are educated, including homeschooling.

PLANK #1 OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO: Free education for all children in government schools.

And particular to American liberals, their plank is to make blacks increasingly stupid and dependent.

‘Oakland Teachers’ Union Closes Schools to Demand “Reparations”’

Teachers Unions are a terminal cancer for US student education ... but hey .... those students will know which proper pronoun to use and how many genders there are ... the heck with that STEM nonsense.

Free education yes. But no teaching or learning actually occurs. Indoctrination sure.

It's like free health care - everyone has free health care, but no one can actually see a doctor or receive treatment.

This same union (and the ‘teachers) pushed to receive an extra $5,000 per year because they were bilingual. Was it bilingual English/Spanish, English/French, English/Chinese? Nope. They wanted the extra 5 grand because they could speak Ebonics. Yo $$$$$$$$
