The state is hoping the first-of-its-kind proposal generates interest in the profession at a time when educators are harder to come by.

If this comes to pass, then very shortly after will add all government workers to include welfare recipients. And they thought the exodus of business is bad now?
Eliminate it for private school teachers also. And homeschool families.
marching lockstep to the agenda has its payoffs
How clever.
Yep, and the public sector workers will become the masters given they will continue to tax the private sector to the point of oblivion. It’s already been happening for the past 60 years with the allowance of government employee unions and the continued growth of public sector jobs/bureaucracy at every level of government, local, state and federal. Private citizens, your freedoms are eroding faster than you think.
A new protected class. Public Skrool Teachers.
I’m a professor at the school of hard knocks. Am I tax exempt now?
Want to truly piss off a public employee. Tell them they don’t pay their taxes the taxpayer does. Also, tell them they don’t pay for their car, home and vacations - the taxpayer does. Watch them go apoplectic.

I think ALL the Cali politicians from Emperor Brown on down assumed that President Cankles would bail out their failing public employee pension system. That's not going to happen now. As the collapse unfolds, it should be more interesting to watch from the sidelines than World Wrestling Entertainment!

So, some who earn a certain amount in California have to pay state income tax and some don’t?
Why stop with teachers? Do it for ALL public employees. Just wipe everyone else’s nose it it—that’s the ticket!
Supposedly, a shortage of teachers is driving this. Gee, wonder why that is? Could it be that CA classroom diversity, including having to accommodate multiple languages, has made the job unacceptable to most?
It just looks like a sneaky way to get around municipal budget constraints.
They recognize them as “valuable government workers” pushing the left-wing propaganda and think they deserve a special bonus. Maybe there is use for the IRS - if it happens, consider the removal of taxes as a gift and tax it federally as such....(said tongue-in-cheek for irony impact)
