L.A. teachers union says schools can't reopen unless charter schools get shut down, police defunded

The Los Angeles Teachers Union says its schools can’t open in the fall unless charter schools are closed and the police are defunded.

These are the Marxist loons teaching your kids.

Oh, and they want more money.

83% of teachers voted to not reopen in the fall.
But they still expect to get paid.

Just the News reported:

United Teachers Los Angeles, a 35,000-strong union in the Los Angeles Unified School District, made those demands in a policy paper it released this week. The organization called on local authorities to “keep school campuses closed when the semester begins on Aug. 18.”

The union outlined numerous major provisions it says will be necessary to reopen schools again, including sequestering students in small groups throughout the school day, providing students with masks and other forms of protective equipment, and re-designing school layouts in order to facilitate “social distancing.”

Yet the union goes even farther than those requests, calling for “local support” in the form of defunded police departments and the shuttering of charter schools.

Police violence “is a leading cause of death and trauma for Black people, and is a serious public health and moral issue,” the union writes.

I have a vision of a sniveling metrosexual male History teacher holding up a Zinn book, and the cop shooting the book out of his hand.

Well, the weather's pretty good and there's lots to do. And If both parents work their a$$es off, a fairly nice house and plenty of grownup toys are available. So what if you don't have enough coin leftover to get your kids out of the socialist daycare that public schools have become?

Of course a real conservative would leave this collectivist sh!tpit for a decent place to raise kids.

The irony is - they are driving many parents to realize that homeschooling isn’t that difficult, and is far better than making your kid a prisoner for 8 hours in politicized union-run schools.

How can parents bypass UTLA if we live in L A?

Agree 100%. Seriously, this could be a huge win for the right to break the teachers union stranglehold on public education.

That would be a hoot.

If these loons do not want the police, fine. Do not answer any calls from schools or their neighborhoods and if they ask for a pay raise, refuse — with the response: Marxist indoctrination of our children is a serious problem that needs to be addressed; therefore we the taxpayers refuse to subsidize it any longer.

Jaime Escalante would be appalled by this.

Escalante,BTW,was a teacher...a real LA teacher...featured in the outstanding film "Stand And Deliver".

I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.
