Los Angeles Teachers’ Union to Vote on Push to Cut Aid to Israel

Leaders of United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) will vote in September on a declaration to call for an end of US aid to Israel.

The resolution will also ask its members to vote in favor of “the international campaign for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against apartheid in Israel.”

UTLA President Cecily Myart-Cruz sent a motion form to members that stated:

I move that UTLA denounce the recent bombings in The West Bank and Gaza by the Israeli resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilian people, mostly women and children. Palestinians have the right to self-determination free of violence and occupation. UN Resolution 194 asserts their right of return to their homes, unjustly seized by the Israeli government

Our tax dollars should go to public schools and healthcare not incessant warfare against an indigenous people in the Middle East.

Shella Sadovnik, litigation counsel at the Freedom Foundation, an organization that fights government union abuses, said :

"It is unconscionable that after a year of sacrificing our children’s education and well-being on the altar of their leftist political agenda to defund the police, ban charter schools and raise taxes on California residents, UTLA is now wasting taxpayer resources to condemn Israel, causing further political division at a time we need it least.ing labeled.”

In May, the San Francisco teachers’ union adopted a resolution to express “solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for Israel to end bombardment of Gaza and stop displacement at Sheikh Jarrah.”

The union called on the Biden administration to end aid to Israel and to endorse the international campaign for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel.

California is in the midst of a “mega-drought”, have a homeless epidemic and out of control costs, so now they want to offend God even more (as if their Pride parades isn’t enough) with this nonsense. God is in charge of the weather. They may want to think about that in earthquake country.

...resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilian people, mostly women, children, persons of color, LGBTQs and BIPOCs, all of whom are poor and oppressed by Donald Trump and his savage band of fascist imperialists.

Fixed it.

They’ve done such an abysmal job of teaching, one would presume they’d try to fix that problem before delving into international affairs.

This is the most important thing the teachers have to work on right now?

There should be a vote to cut the aid (pensions) to the teacher’s union!

I held a vote to seize all assets of the teachers union and give it to blacks as reperations for doing a crappy job of teaching for 30 years.

It passed 1-0

So what else is new? When a group of dudes is being assailed on account of some unpopular actions they have taken (e.g., staying home instead of putting in live classroom time) - well, let’s attack the Jews.

(The Arab countries do it all the time, to divert people’s attention from poor economic conditions.)

Nazis and communists have infiltrated key positions in academia, labor, the snake department, entertainment, and mass media. We’re right back to the 1950’s.

Remember folks, it’s “all about the children,” because “they are our future!”

Well, la de da. Aren’t they full of themselves? I call for the stop of all federal funding to LA. Why stop there? Cut federal and state funding to all education. Put it in the hands of local government. I don’t like my tax dollars going to a bunch of leftist illiterate teachers that are abject failures in educating our young. That by the way is 95% of all teachers. Eff’ing morons.

Arabs live in Israel. They live in peace and are successful.

Hundreds of thousands of laborers from the West bank and Gaza
pass the Israeli border each day to work in Israel. (it may
be just tens of thousands but I seem to recall it being in
the hundreds of thousands somehow)

No Israelis live on the West Bank or in Gaza.

If they were there, they would be killed.

I don’t have any sympathy for the Palestinians. They
elect terrorists as leaders, and those leaders steal and
misdirect international funds donated to help the people.

It doesn’t much.

Considering the source there’s no doubt just the opposite is in order and lots of it.

These people should never be allowed around kids, let alone “teach” them.
