Hundreds of teachers, parents and Occupy LA protesters joined forces in a march to the Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday, protesting education budget cuts.

The United Teachers of Los Angeles did not officially endorse the “Occupy LAUSD” march.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy condemned the protesters’ claims in a news statement earlier Tuesday. The bulk of that money was used to retain 330 positions that had been slated for elimination, hire an additional 160 certificated employees and 300 clerical and other support personnel.

He called the participants of the march “misinformed,” saying their actions were “contrary to the spirit and intent of Occupy Wall Street, Occupy LA, and the other laudable movements for economic justice that have sprung up around the country and the world over the last month.”

“Deasy will never understand the 99% because he is not one of us” said Lara.

I love the last three paragraphs for the liberal on liberal violence. THAT SAID, it's interesting that officially the teacher's union sidestepped the Occupy LA group, whereas prior to the march, the implication was full support.
