Ex-LAPD insider: corrupt Democrats have deliberately turned LA schools into war zone

...after 30 years of the institutionalized intellectual vandalism of our city’s most precious and needy children, when will we call it DELIBERATE regularity? If LAUSD was a private company, it would have collapsed a generation ago like the stinking necrotic tumor it is.

LAUSD is a criminal enterprise – a $30 billion dollar (allegedly $11B operations, $21B construction) protection racket that extorts tax dollars under the pretext of improvement and higher scores. It makes schools I’ve seen in Calcutta, Rio, and Nairobi look like Cal Tech and MIT.

....LAUSD makes us lament the good old days before Brown v. Board of Education, when Democrats merely segregated minority children. What could we expect from school district officials after BROWN when, the day before, they supported segregation? When Republicans demanded an end to discrimination, Democrats responded by shuffling children in buses so that they could join gangs, do drugs, and get shot in other neighborhoods.

Like all other tumors, LAUSD cannot be fixed. It demands removal. Compared to LA City’s $6.5B budget for our 4,300,000 residents, LAUSD’s bloated $30 billion could be divided among its 650,000 students who could then pursue a real education with vouchers and charters. I suspect that Democrats oppose vouchers not because they don't work, but because affluent Democrats don't want their children to compete for seats in their own private schools far from the riff-raff of low-income families they pretend to care for.

If you disagree, how much more “disturbing regularity” do we plan to tolerate? As parents and voters, we have the power to change this. LAUSD is the lifeblood of the California Democrat Party:


Our Attorney General will not close down the operation that has fed his campaigns since the 1970s. Republicans might not...

OH cmon, they just need a little more money to fix it.

Free market: Business with poor quality goods or low customer satifaction -> Less income -> Goes out of business.

Government Schools: A given school with poor scores or low-quality graduates -> “Don’t let it fall through the cracks” “Help bring the worst ones up to standards” -> More funding -> Held up as example of how The System “works”. Repeat.

If they’d just raise teachers’ salaries and give out condoms all the problems would go away . . . .

[Cymbaline]

Let’s see...

$30 billion LAUSD budget divided by 650,000 students gives $46153.85 per student per year. I wonder how much of that gets to the actual classrooms.

Well, they're not teaching enough about diversity and tolerance either. It might help if they'd just do that.

Great article. Great comments. Thanks for posting.

Most teachers want to do good and teach, but their hands are tied by the administration and the state.

Pubic education!

The combatants - the students - have turned the schools into a war zone.

probably about 6 cents on the dollar

Who’s we?Here’s reality.”WE” can’t do anything.
The place to start change for LAUSD is in D.C. That’s where the head of the organized crime syndicate, called the U.S. govt., is.

What should we do?
The next Pres. will make things better!LOL

[connell]

How did the students get to be how they are, in your view?

[mo]

this will continue, IMHO, until a group of students file a Civil Rights suit against them, for depriving them of access to a functional education.

[connell]

The left: wrong about everything since the foundation of the world.

[connell]

Excellent idea! Know any lawyers who would do it?

[NordP]

Infinity Symbol or Corrupt Bra???

...YOU make the call.

The average is about 40% to the classroom; the rest goes to administration and physical plant.

[wtc911]

The formula misses a key piece; failing students perpetuate the permanent underclass which will then rely on daddy-government for its survival. The dems need generational poverty to maintain power and the enlist the teachers unions to help them satisfy that need.

[DennisR]

I do not think the $30 billion could be correct. The entire state of California has a “budget” of about $100 billion. So LAUSD’s is about 30% of that???

And assuming that the approximately 4,000,000 L.A. residents foot the entire $30B bill, that would be about $7,500 per resident. Hm...

These numbers need to be verified.
