About 45 Los Angeles teachers and union leaders were arrested and booked for unlawful assembly outside school district headquarters today after they sat in the middle of the street and refused to move in an act of civil disobedience meant to protest possible layoffs.
Among those detained outside Los Angeles Unified District offices on Beaudry Street, between Third and Fourth streets, was L.A. teachers union leader A.J. Duffy. The protesters were warned four times by police via bullhorn to move out of the street before they were handcuffed. They were then led to a waiting Los Angeles Police Department bus.
About 700 more teachers than usual called in sick today in the Los Angeles Unified School District, days after a judge ordered the teachers union to call off a planned one-day strike. Today's actions occurred despite a renewed warning from the judge against violations of his order.

STUPID COMMIES!
One of the most despicable aspects of teachers’ unions is the way they manipulate the children in their classes to take their demands home to parents.
Kleptocrats.
They can't afford their spending so they will get the rest of us to pay for it. Am I reading this correctly...I get to pay for their bloated government unions, retirement benefits, and etc while not enjoying the same benefits myself?
California has a VERY poor credit rating and has asked the federal government to guaranty new bond issues. So yes, you may get a chance to own part of the Golden State.
The highest paid Kleptocrats in the country, with a 50% student drop out rate.
What’s with the spanish signs? Use stimulus now?
Did we get all the stimulus money by now?
What part of “the state has a huge budget deficit” do
these teachers not understand?
