Teachers, Media Admit: L.A. School Strike Is About Politics, Not Pay

The first teachers’ strike in 30 years continues in Los Angeles Tuesday, keeping roughly two-thirds of children out of school and creating hardship for tens of thousands of families, many of them poor, working-class, or minority households.

The Los Angeles Times reported about the first day of the strike:

The walkout of 31,000 teachers union members proved to be the massive disruption hundreds of thousands of students and their families had feared. The vast majority of the district’s parents and guardians are low income, and many had to choose between missing work to watch their children or sending them into an unknown situation at school. While campuses remained open, the few adults present struggled to keep students engaged.

Fire them all - there are plenty of people that are looking for work to take their places!

Solution is simple, fire every one of them if they refuse to go back to work!
These are hard times for everyone and taxpayers can only take so much!
Don't like you job or pay, then get the hell out!

"...creating hardship for tens of thousands of families, many of them poor, working-class, or minority households."

Many of them are also illegals.

My understanding is classrooms over crowded. Charter schools being paid by tax payers to private firms to teach. I would complain about illegals.
