L.A. Teachers Union Demands Defunding Police Before Reopening Schools

Does the L.A. Teachers Union care first and foremost about educating children?

Not even close.

The union intends to hold the students and their parents hostage until the union's Leftist demands are met.

From Just the News:

A major teachers union is claiming that the re-opening of schools in its district cannot occur without several substantial policy provisions in place, including a "moratorium" on charter schools and the defunding of local police.

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."

UTLA is demanding that police be defunded and charter schools be closed.

"The union also demands the implementation of a federal Medicare-for-All program, several new state-level taxes on wealthy people, and a 'federal bailout' of the school district."

This is insane.

The Democrats/Leftists have gone completely crazy.

According to the science, children can safely go to school. Keeping schools closed is not in the best interests of children or their families.

Teachers unions across the country are exposing themselves as radical political operations rather than groups of professionals nobly working and caring for the nation's children.
