yeah CA are losing the folks over money (highest state income tax, property tax, housing costs) but not ideology. They're just bringing their fucked up values to AZ, CO, NV, TX and spreading their disorder over all of Southwest USA. It would have been much more appropriate for them to reap what they sowed
and CT, NY, NJ, eastern PA are now doing the same thing to Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida
California is a coordinated, orchestrated disaster.
One major goal is to crush our capitalist economy, make socialism attractive to people. Conservatives, patriots, Christians, family people, working people, all are losing something to this internal overthrow every day.
It is infiltration rather than invasion.

1) This is absolutely a good idea. Any "private" school that is getting public funds is stealing from American tax-payers and must be shut down.
2) The LAPD is another major theft of money from the tax payers, just like the schools.
3) Trumpcare fixed all problems in federal and state healtcare, so this "demand" proves how retarded they are.
4) There should never be any government bailouts for anyone ever. Asking for one, shows that they are a failure, just like everyone else who has ever received a government handout.
5) This shows that they want to steal money from people.
Was talking to a teacher neighbor yesterday. She teaches in Lawrence, MA. It is an old mill city north of Boston overrun by Dominicans. She said that the child participation rate for her Google classroom in the spring was 10%. 10%!!!
The country needs more dumbed down kids.
Is there anyone who can stand up to the Dem governors (extreme liberal RINO here in Mass) and the teacher's unions?

well what started as 35k SoCal teacher's union issue has now been picked up by the 1.7 million American Federation of Teachers union who will strike in August unless their demands are met. But...get this...a new demand is that they not work a full day online even if they get their wish to not return to campus. Yep they want to get paid TO NOT TEACH.
The American Federation of Teachers, which represents 1.7 million school employees, issued a resolution on Tuesday saying it will support any local chapter that decides to strike over reopening plans.
In providing its blessing, the union is also offering local chapters access to its financial and legal resources as they navigate a return to the classroom. Union officials said they will provide legal support, communications support and staffing to local chapters that vote to strike.
With the academic year set to begin next month in much of the country, parents are desperate for teachers to provide more interactive, face-to-face instruction this fall, both online and, where safe, in person. But many unions, while concerned about the safety of classrooms, are also fighting to limit the amount of time that teachers are required to be on video over the course of a day.
But now, with the economy sputtering and many parents struggling to balance work and child care while overseeing remote learning, teachers who resist demands to appear over video or to work in classrooms where it’s considered safe risk fraying those hard-won bonds.Some critics see teachers’ unions as trying to have it both ways: Reluctant to return to classrooms, but also resistant in some districts to providing a full day of remote school via tools like live video — the kind of interactive, online instruction that many parents say their children need after watching them flounder in the spring.
Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest school district, had already made the decision to start the year online because of soaring infections. Now the union and administrators are engaged in long negotiating sessions via Zoom, with one of the stickiest points of contention being how many hours per day teachers should be required to teach live via video.

Cecily Myart-Cruz, president of the United Teachers Los Angeles union, said she understood the benefits — she watched her own son engage with teachers online during the spring shutdown — but she argued that a full school day over video would not be feasible for either students or teachers (although some private schools have embraced it).

very well stated by this writer.....
So, to be clear, not only do the teachers unions not want to do their actual jobs in person — they don't even want to spend more than the equivalent of a lunch break on Zoom. Yet they expect you, the taxpayer, to keep funding them.
Of all the pandemic pandemonium we've suffered in the last five months, public employees attempting to threaten the taxpayers into giving them a yearlong paid vacation, while our children suffer mental health and developmental delays and parents see their own livelihoods put in jeopardy might be the most infuriating.
When teachers were arguing that they felt unsafe returning to schools without a clear plan, there was at least some reason to be sympathetic to their position — even as many other essential workers remained in their jobs during the pandemic. But now that they are rebelling against even remote work, they no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt.
So it's time to call a spade a spade. This is not motivated by science. It's motivated by the same sort of flagrant self-interest that's allowed teachers unions to give a free ride to the underachievers of the public school system, while actual competent educators are denied merit-based pay. It is the same selfishness that has denied America's children, especially minority students, a dignified education.
Studies from other nations' school reopenings and America's day cares during the pandemic indicate that children simply are not vectors of coronavirus transmission, hence the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidance that schools reopen in person with extra attendance flexibility and social distancing come autumn. But while front-line supply chain workers, doctors, and nurses all braved the risk of the coronavirus because they understood that you don't get an income without doing a job, teachers want to hold a year of your children's development and mental health hostage.
On top of this, we've seen some absurd developments. The Los Angeles teachers union has demanded defunding the police. One teacher from Atlanta took to the New York Times to claim parents choosing to educate their children outside of the purview of public schools with home schooling or pandemic pods were "segregationists."
So children can't physically go back to school, teachers don't want to educate them remotely, and parents who scramble to find creative solutions to fill in the gaps are racist?
Enough is enough. It's time for taxpayers to revolt and demand that if teachers refuse to do their jobs, they don't get paid.

I told you guys about teachers long ago you didn’t want to listen. This is what you’re left with. Stop bitching and deal with it. Same thing with police. Told you about those fucks too. They both suck and both need more training. Jokes on people like Roll Tide aka fat Phyllis who always has slurped on these people for far too long.
yes of course i read it and the only part that makes sense is that homeless kids and children from low-income families have a tough time affording laptops and high speed internet for online learning which is exactly what teachers were pushing for. so, yeah they made a valid point and then said they still only want to teach virtually...well, until today when they now believe they shouldn't be expected to put in a full day of work
perhaps you'd like to enlighten us to which ridiculous demand you believe is a "good valid point"?
not arguing about the need to overhaul the education system except it begins with giving children and families choices and drastically decreasing public education dollars which are 80%, or higher, than the same cost per student of a home-schooled, charter-schooled, or private-schooled student and far worse results.
getting paid with our tax dollars to not work is simply not an option especially when they are failing kids of every race, but particularly black and latino, at ridiculous rates. Throwing more money at them with extra days off and less hours, and doing so with federal bailout money, is a fucking joke
explain exactly what demands should be met and I'll gladly respond ... I know you won't b/c you're a cvnt that needs to call himself the Big Wang for a bunch of dudes that bet a lot so put your ball gag back in your mouth and forget you tried to make a point about this disgusting union
