Schneider said the district has a responsibility to protect young children from being used to advance a teacher's personal views.

Children are their targets and taxpayers foot the bill. Imagine the spin they're fed day in and day out.

Williams, a member of the teachers association and president of the Pasadena Educators Association

There was a story earlier this week about a teacher that was a prostitute during the summer. This woman is a whore for the unions year round.

This woman's mistake was the mention of the suicide. Had she not done this, no one would know about it.

Those in the charter movement have children and parents write all the time. The pity of it is, we are fighting for better and they are fighting for status quo.

Funny, no one has ever done anything to the teachers in my town who subvert the school's time and resources to campaign for more and more tax increases and tax limitation overrides to continually shovel more money into their machine. School children work in class on ribbons to wear, school xerox machines are used as printing presses, signs are painted to be put up near polling places.

They just keep calling more town elections, and every time they are shot down they try again the next year, until by sheer fatigue, they get their way.

They're a marching army and we're footing the bill. How about that, feeding the machine that is draining us dry and corrupting our children.

And hardly anyone questions statements from the NEA as being politically motivated, where with any other union their position would be seen as self-serving. The NEA doesn't work for children they work for their educrat membership and the DNC.

IOW, the preferred tactics of the entire 'rat constituency: pub school interests (administrators as well as NEA types), pan-homosexuals, gun banners, etc.

The left has many plays in their book, but this one is particularly effective in getting first downs. If you want to hear them really howl, try to pass some sort of moratorium on school bond issues.

Many of the students pleaded for legislators to spare field trips, textbooks and teacher salaries from the budget ax.

"If you don't, I'll kill myself just like your son did, you meanie!"

Oh, I'm pretty sure she coached the kids and read the letters. Do you suppose there was even one letter that said "my parents said they could take me to Disneyland or even send me to private school, if only they weren't paying such high taxes"? or "My teacher said your son killed himself, but why does she think our school budget had something to do with it?" For some reason, I don't think so.

But I do wish they'd print the text of just ONE of the offending letters. I'd just like to see one.

You got THAT right!
Did you see DanfromMichigan's post about the raping of education funds in Oakland County Michigan? It just makes me sick.
