Breitbart: Teachers unions are holding up the radical #RedForEd movement to fuel their demands for higher wages and more public school funding as a strike looms this week in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
The nation’s largest teachers union – the National Education Association (NEA) – has been promoting #RedForEd as a movement to challenge what it views as an attempt to privatize public education via the school choice initiative launched by current Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
In a statement to USA Today, a DeVos spokesperson said the “false narrative that the Secretary is anti-teacher is nothing more than a political ploy.” MORE HERE
I offer that California teachers should provide a free public education for all the children from other countries here illegally.
Expensive? Surely, but it could be readily funded from the vast amount of money in their pensions funds.
We are at war on all fronts. NEA is just another commie bunch like the SEIU.
and apparently the FBI
Doesn’t Sweden, the ‘Democratic Socialist ideal’, have school vouchers and competition?
I really don’t think that parents right across your country (and mine) quite realize that teachers spend more time with their children than they do. If a teachers union decides to indoctrinate the children they certainly can and, in some states have. Far too many parents are quite content on letting teachers raise their kids, install their own moral compass, teach them their version of right and wrong while the parents accumulate success outside the home in business or their careers. Shame.
Wait, I thought they were pro-choice outfit?
Government employees should not have collective bargaining anyway.
Considering the job too many are doing, culling the herd rather than rewarding them would be more effective.
I predict that the school district will “cave” and give the teachers a big pay increase and more benefits that those in the private sector can only dream about.
I also predict that the teachers union will increase its campaign contributions to the politicians who “caved.”

Before GHWB they did not. when the controllers went on strike they broke the law. Which is why Ronny died them!
Who ever said any Bush was not a far left lib?
I would rather teach non english speaking Latinos rather than American Africans. Florida is a perfect example of failing schools.
