Oh and fuck teaches union. Only reason teachers are not fleeing in droves from CA is because they are locked into a pention, or at least that's what every teacher tells me.

HeadSet saysI suppose they could pass a law In California that all California state and local government paid pensions will be taxed by California, regardless of where the pensioner resides
Close. They did just that with all retirees fleeing Cali but Congress passed a law based on interstate commerce that banned it.

That's easy. It's A. minus B. A little algebra goes a long way.
I swear there’s nobody more racist than a Democrat.
Month after lockdown many teachers started double dipping. Collecting public pay for half ass bullshit online education and teaching on the side in person to people who could afford it.

This practice should be banned. If you file a W-2 or 1099, you should have your pension reduced an equal amount if collecting. Make $10k side gigging it, your pension payment drops $10k the next taxable year, or your pension is taxed for that $10k. We need to stop giving money away. It's sick as fuck.
Cut the teachers some slack. First, most of them don't want to teach this "woke" shit that they are being forced to teach. They don't want to do actual work (yes, standing up in front of students and getting them to learn while babysitting a huge number of them is work), while the administrators play around with moving paper around especially when tons of the parents ain't working.
There is simply no upward mobility available for the vast majority of their students and that's for the ones that can speak English. Added to that 20% of the school's budget is spent on kids with disabilities (don't get me wrong the kids are nice kids but a huge waste of resources).

Please, let's use the formally correct term "illegal aliens".
When we let them change our words, we also let them change our thoughts.
So it's Wuhan Virus as well, as it was in the beginning.

Hate to tell you this, but "illegal aliens" is a political correct term for them. Now New York fines people $10k for saying it.

NY can't fine you for speaking, the moment they fine you it'll be court ruled unconstitutional as there is a ton of precedent.
Why? Because they didn’t want to go to work. That’s literally it. They disenfranchised millions of poor at-risk minority kids who are now mostly gang members, just to make sure they could “work from home.”
I usually keep a local affiliate from Chicago on in the background for news
But not for California, and not for the SF Bay Area.
Here’s a line in the sand I’m ready to draw. I’ll never support any candidate for any office who propagated the Big Lie that opening schools was unsafe.
It’s been propagated in California like nowhere else. Biden’s Education Department just reported we have the fewest fourth graders in school full-time: 5 percent. Across all grades, we’ve lagged behind every state throughout the last year: 50th out of 50.
Who, specifically, is accountable for the Big Lie? Here’s who to start with:
Gavin Newsom. There may not be a person in the United States more culpable than Newsom, whose biggest campaign donor is teachers’ unions. Last Fall, he was one of only five governors to force schools to close; this Spring, he was the only West Coast governor not to make them open. All the while, Newsom had no problem “endangering” his own kids at a private school. He then added another lie, claiming they were in “Zoom school.”
Tony Thurmond. The State Superintendent, whom teachers’ unions spent $13 million installing, has peddled the Big Lie at every turn. When I cross-examined him last October, he tipped his hand that the plan was to keep schools closed the entire year or longer, breathlessly citing “new data” that “COVID could be with us well beyond 2021.”
The Legislature. It’s never questioned the Big Lie. After my “Killing our Kids for Nothing” speech in March, it rejected my Amendment to open schools immediately.
Education Committee Chairs. The Assembly Chair has refused to allow even a vote on my bills to reopen schools and fund students directly, has tried to mute my microphone, and has denied public comment. The Senate Education Chair just insanely proposed that distance learning continue “into the fall and possibly further.”
School Boards. After keeping schools closed this whole year, LA and SF Unified are now scamming the state for millions in extra funding with fake re-openings. SF will let two high schools offer in-person “supervision” once a week; LA has set up a Kafkaesque “Zoom in a Room” for 7 percent of students. It’s time to consider disbanding these farcically corrupt districts.
It’s also, of course, time to oust this historically corrupt Governor. Newsom recently tried to minimize the tragedy of learning loss by calling it “unfinished learning.” Perhaps he’s hoping we’ll refer to his Recall loss as an unfinished term.

Now the teachers unions have managed to also fuck over working parents. People with jobs are expected to quit them to stay home with the kids and homeschool them. Regardless of their budgets of course. The only thing that matters to the teachers is that they get to stay home and still get paid.
Now the LA Unified School District has authorized free daycare for teachers who are parents, so they have someplace other than home (which is where they will be) to send their rug rats so they won’t have to care for them while “teaching online” everyone else’s kids who don’t get free day care.
In my neighborhood there are several gyms which have opened as daycare/schools able to provide daycare for school aged kids with staff who can help the kids with their online lessons. This costs $155-200/week and goes until 3PM same as a regular school day. Working parents who can’t be home with their kids to help them are expected to shell out $650-800/month per kid to “educate” their kids while public schools we all pay for are shuttered because teachers are scared of Covid. But NOT too scared to send their own kids to day cares as long as the school district pays for that!
Fuck teachers unions. Seriously.

It’s in the article, buried:
“Teachers also will be provided with child care.”
