The United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA), the largest local teachers’ union in California, rejected Governor Gavin Newsom’s school reopening plan on Monday, calling it “”a recipe for propagating structural racism.” The plan, which was announced by Newsom and Democratic leaders in the state legislature, provides $6.6 billion for schools to accelerate the reopening process as coronavirus cases drop. “$2 billion would fund safety measures to support in-person instruction, such as personal protective equipment, ventilation upgrades and COVID-19 testing. $4.6 billion would fund expanded learning opportunities, such as summer school, tutoring and mental health services,” the governor’s office said in a press release.

Outlaw all unionization of public schools. Better yet outlaw all unionization of government workers including public schools.

It's not adequate to scream "systemic racism" with zero proof or rationale. Teachers should have more sense, but apparently the 'Rona has scrambled whatever brains they had to begin with.

Homeschool. Change schools now while they are all out. Replace them all and when they open use all new teachers. Ones that REALLY teach and not indoctrinate.

Newsome should take a page out of his predecessor Reagan’s playbook and tell those liberal to socialist teachers that if they don’t show up in their classrooms on a certain date and specific time ready to teach that they will be fired. Here the schools have been opened for many months, five days a week, and have no history of kids giving their teachers COVID. If Newsome were to tell those teachers to show up to be vaccinated tomorrow probably half of them would refuse the vaccinations. Their unreasonable no work stance could go on for years if they are allowed to get away with doing that.

Fine. Don't wanna teach, don't expect a paycheck. Watch how quickly the schools open up then.
The schools in our community have been open since August. In our district, we started with about 80-90% of the kids attending classes. There have been a few cases of COVID in the schools (and in every case, the source was outside the school(. Many of the distance learners were failing and brought back to the classroom; now we're finding that some of those kids are in club sports on the side ... and the district is saying if it's safe enough for you to play club volleyball or club baseball, it's safe enough for you to come to school every day.
But then again, this is Texas (although some of the metro districts like San Antonio and Austin are still pussyfooting around with attendance).
The sad thing is that many school districts are losing kids. Some districts have lost as many as 20-25% of their students in "distance learning." Our district, with about 2000 kids, was pretty aggressive in keeping track of the kids last spring and only lost about 10 or 20 total.
But the teachers unions are getting paid, sending their kids to private schools, and taking beach vacations in the Caribean. As long as the HR office is open and processing paychecks via direct deposit, the union goons are happy.

So, Gov. Nuisance is essentially bribing schools to open. I’m with #4 - either be in your classroom next Monday or you’re fired.

So now it's full throttle communism. The teachers union's run education across the nation. Something about toothpaste and a tube comes to mind.

My BIL, a high school teacher in CA, was furious he had to go back into the classroom last Fall...no kids, just teachers. Mad he couldn’t sit on his butt all day watching ESPN and do an hour Zoom class. Poor spoiled babies. Fire them all if they refuse.

It's getting interesting between Brylcreem and the union. In a "shut-the-teachers-up" move, he put them higher on the priority list for vaccinations but it's too late and he's facing a recall from the rest of us. Teachers have been catered to so much over the past year that they're now calling all the shots. They've transitioned from defunding the police to better ventilation in schools to now wanting new schools altogether.

So is 'structural' racism worse than 'systemic' racism? Having graduated from a public high school back in 1961, I wasn't taught those terms.

As an Atlanta radio personality said many years ago, sending your child to public school is child abuse.

Better the next generation is stupid as hell so they will become socialists. If teachers won't work they've broken their contract, but if the state keeps the schools closed they get paid.
