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.

Totally agree. I’d rather break up than live under communist rule.

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

young Republican voters.

Making lemonade from lemons?

[jersey117]

Give their jobs to unemployed BA holders. Half of the teachers don’t even speak proper English. No loss if we do away with most of them.

So, the teacher’s union is exposed as a blatant political institution having nothing to do with educating children

But then, It is Los Angeles California, not America.

Who gives a damn about the kids in LA? They are doomed anyway

“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?”

I’m speechless. Do these people believe this? I can’t get into their mindset. Do they say things they don’t believe? Can they believe this? Do these teachers have an unstated understanding that it doesn’t matter whether they or any other leftists believe this is true, so long as the depths of their hatred are conveyed? I shouldn’t be trying to make sense of this. I’m losing my mind. I’m losing my mind.

Someone above suggested that these teachers are sociopaths. That might be true. The NAZI schoolteachers used to teach their children that Jews knife, dissect, and eat children. Maybe it’s something like that.

Like they're going to keep getting paid for not working.

And taxpayers are going to keep paying property taxes for no education system.

The kids in LA would probably be smarter if they never attended school.

[miserare]

Yes!
Dump the greedy eedjits.

Many parents have found it delightful to homeschool their kids during the lockdown.

The founding fathers were mainly homeschooled.

Also many presidents, and guys like Lewis and Clark.

Who needs the public schools and the Commies who run them ?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Cut off their paychecks and see if they change their minds.

[mason-dixon]

Wonder why people are fleeing CA? YUP!

[Renkluaf]

Remember the Air Traffic Controllers?

[miserare]

Not to mention their pensions...$90,000 a year for my Long Island relatives.

[chickenlips]

Shut ‘em down. No funding for them and taxation for the union. School choice needs to be a big campaign issue.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

And just what are the optimal number of students per teacher online vs in school? It seems like one teacher can teach an almost unlimited number online or at least more that in class. Overcrowding isn’t a problem online.

[MinorityRepublican]

I know that it is deadlier than the typical flu. But let's get real. This isn't Ebola or Bubonic Plague.

[cargocruiser]

Will those same teachers personally guarantee my child’s safety throughout the school day once the “school police” and the local law enforcement are gotten rid of ? The teachers are just begging for a incident to happen once the police are gone,, but more appropriately lets just fire everyone of those teachers because give in to their demands now they will have even bigger demands in the future.

[avital2]

seems only right that teachers take paycut and citizens get taxcut for different since many parents are shouldering a good part of teaching load. threat of a pay cut will get teachers back into the classroom.

[hal ogen]

Are these bum “educators” getting paid throughout this whole Wuhan Virus scam even through they had had a vacay the whole time? And...have the taxpayers been given rebates on their property taxes because the schools have been closed? Once again, the “educators” prove that they are in it for themselves...benefits and pensions. Get to work, you weak losers.

[Mouton]

Those that can do. Those who cannot teach. Those who choose not to teach should be unemployed.

[hal ogen]

Likely the majority of students in cali public schools are illegal alien invaders. Deport them. Close the schools. Fire the LIB loser “educators”.
