L.A. teachers union says schools can't reopen unless charter schools get shut down, police defunded

The Los Angeles Teachers Union says its schools can’t open in the fall unless charter schools are closed and the police are defunded.

These are the Marxist loons teaching your kids.

Oh, and they want more money.

83% of teachers voted to not reopen in the fall.
But they still expect to get paid.

Just the News reported:

United Teachers Los Angeles, a 35,000-strong union in the Los Angeles Unified School District, made those demands in a policy paper it released this week. The organization called on local authorities to “keep school campuses closed when the semester begins on Aug. 18.”

The union outlined numerous major provisions it says will be necessary to reopen schools again, including sequestering students in small groups throughout the school day, providing students with masks and other forms of protective equipment, and re-designing school layouts in order to facilitate “social distancing.”

Yet the union goes even farther than those requests, calling for “local support” in the form of defunded police departments and the shuttering of charter schools.

Police violence “is a leading cause of death and trauma for Black people, and is a serious public health and moral issue,” the union writes.

Anyone still think this is about a virus and not political?

Fine. Keep the schools closed, and pay the teachers based on the amount of work they do, or don’t do.

[mewzilla]

Fire them.

Can we just start redrawing the lines now? I don’t want to live amongst sociopaths anymore.

[Grampa Dave]

So who will win the shootouts between the cops and teachers?

[Secret Agent Man]

if schools are closed they aren’t doing any work. no paycheckee, baby

“So, to be clear, this isn’t about your health? You are making political demands outside your job”

“Mmmm K. I see the problem. Yer fired”

[mewzilla]

I have one word for teachers unions: PATCO.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Do people actually live there?? On purpose?

[USAF1985]

Not that it matters...kids in LA can’t get any more stupid than they are now.

If the schools are closed long enough, there will be many more

young Republican voters.

Lay then ALL off and give the funding directly to the parents who can home school their children or send their children to the charter schools.

If the teachers want to commit professional suicide, let them.

Police violence “is a leading cause of death and trauma for Black people, and is a serious public health and moral issue,”

Are they insane? These are teachers?

[dp0622]

sound like reasonable demands :)

no mention of Trump having to leave office or changing the colors of our flag?

[NicoDon]

yep, pretty much what you said. And even if not political, its about them getting what they want, not whats good for the kids. Every single one of these people need to be fired. They don’t want to work and if there is going to be a strike over this then there is no reason to keep them- get rid of them and hire and train their replacements. Ban them from being employed by the state again in the future since its clear they have no desire to educate.

[CodeToad]

The LA police should go on strike and demand the teachers get defunded!

[ptsal]

This challenged can be solved.
Fire them.
Go to work or go away.

[Brilliant]

Trump had better not subsidize these guys.

My father-in-law (low 60s) just caught it and said it was like the flu. A week later, a negative test and feels great. They could have hyped H1N1 or SARS like this if they wanted to. It’s political.
