| Public schools across California have assigned thousands of teachers to classes without the proper credentials or legal authorization, a persistent problem that state and local education officials blame on mismanagement, budget shortages and a limited pool of qualified specialists. Untrained teachers have been assigned to a variety of difficult classes, including those filled with English-language learners and others with special intellectual and physical needs. In many cases, these teachers lack training in a particular subject that they´ve been assigned to teach, such as English or math.

Comments: Tax dollars spent on education are being wasted. More importantly, young people are being cheated out of the education they urgently need.

How much training do those loser teachers need to spread the Marxist agenda?

@OP: That is by design. The Dems have a political lock on California. Sacramento is owned by the Teachers Union and power will never again be relinquished to the GOP, which in CA, is pretty much nonexistent at this point.

Apparently there just aren´t enough "porn stars" available to assign to all the classrooms.

Now we know why Ms Pelosi thinks the way she does and says the stuff she says. Every class she took was taught by a janitor posing as a teacher and Ms Pelosi believed every word of it.

This is blaring evidence that teachers unions don´t care at all about The Children. Instead of hiring & assigning teachers according to their skills, they abuse qualified teachers to accomodate nepotism & political favors. Class Action Lawsuit, anyone?

My guess is one of the biggest problems is a lack of bi-lingual teachers,so the classes are being filled by underqualified teachers,simply because they can speak Spanish. The parents of these kids can´t speak english themselves so they´re overflowing the schools,hoping they teach them to speak english.
People are sneered at ,at the suggestion that English should be the national official language,even though your success path in life has a better chance if you know the language.

#4 I believe Our Lady of Perpetual Surprise was born and raised in Baltimore, where her father was a congress-critter from Maryland and then the Mayor of Baltimore. I think in her case it´s just senility, but the schools in California have long been terrible, more interested in churning out "citizens" than teaching Johnny to read. If Johnny can read, he might learn something.

Pelosi is not from California...she is another carpetbagger like most of the Democrats that ruined this once great state. California used to have excellent schools back before the lefties began taking over in the late 60s and early 70s. I was lucky to have gone to some very good schools--though I did notice we started getting some stupid lefty types coming in during the 70s. Still, I think I learned much more from my parents (especially my stay-at-home mother) than I did from school. Anyway, most of the time I was lucky and got the old school teachers, but I had friends who were in classes with the "groovy and hip" ones. I saw a difference right away. In junior high and high school, I was stuck with a few of the "progressive" types, but they were still few and far between back then. I would hate to see what it is like now. Yes, the lefties are destroying schools on purpose. They want the public to be ignorant and indoctrinated. That is why I am glad I had no children. It is better to homeschool.

Save some of that anger for the brilliant students in Ca. who are held down and shoved back into subjects they could have mastered very early. Gifted children in Ca. are just as ill treated as any other group if their parents can´t afford private school. It hurts even worse when they meet with their family peers out of state and learn just how badly they are being cheated.

Did you CA residents catch those magic words "budget shortages"? Welcome to Brown´s next tax increase for your bloated school administration budgets and bloated teacher union wages, benefits, and pensions.

Fairbanks - The rusty 55-gallon barrels sit on the tundra near Chandler Lake in the middle of the Brooks Range like a caribou herd scattered across the landscape, surrounded by rugged, snow-capped 6,000- and 7,000-foot-high peaks. Unlike caribou, rusty barrels don’t feed the people of Anaktuvuk Pass, and they aren’t nearly as nice to look at, which is why residents in the village in the Brooks Range 250 miles northeast of Fairbanks want them gone. The fuel drums, an estimated 130 of them, have been sitting there for more than 50 years, left by the Department of Defense

San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener´s ban on baring it all in San Francisco notwithstanding, Nude Aid, a benefit for the Center for Sex and Culture, brought more than 30 artists and a dozen naked and fetish-clad models together for a pre-Valentine´s Day sketch session. Visitors hoping for an erotic thrill by seeing models in the buff got a different surprise (although the man with his face painted purple in the mode of a Mexican wrestling mask was an unexpected treat). The real voyeurism was peering over the shoulders of the artists as they worked

A former offensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders faces charges that he assaulted his boyfriend at a Menlo Park restaurant after an argument involving soy sauce and underpants, San Mateo County prosecutors said Monday.

Many people turn to knitting as a means of stress reduction, and Harmeet Dhillon of San Francisco was no exception when she took up the hobby during college in 1986. Dhillon, however, has taken her interest in textiles a step or two further than most recreational knitters. In 2012, she founded Sea Ranch Woolworks,(Snip) She was born in rural India and is now as an award-winning trial attorney at the helm of her own firm, chairwoman of the Republican Party of San Francisco and a candidate for vice chair of the California Republican Party.

It's usually easy to predict how particular California state legislators will vote on a bill: 99 percent of the time, Democrats vote the same way as the majority of their party; 94 percent of the time, Republicans vote the same way as the majority of their party, according to a Bee review of voting records from the 2011-2012 legislative session. The two parties are each unanimous in their support or rejection of a bill during the vast majority of votes. Every Democrat in the Assembly or Senate voted the same way on about 86 percent of bills.

In the latest black eye for the scandal-ridden State Department, a whistleblower claims she was run out of the foreign service after complaining about a consul general’s alleged office trysts with subordinates and hookers.Kerry Howard says she was bullied, harassed and forced to resign after she exposed US Consul General Donald Moore’s alleged security-threatening shenanigans in the Naples, Italy, office. As the post’s community-liaison officer, Howard was charged with keeping workplace peace and advising higher-ups on the state of morale, but when she revealed allegations about her boss, State Department officials swept it under the rug,

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
