Which are stronger, unions or the needs of the public? I am betting on the unions.
"Public schools certainly should be a top priority for the Legislature, which must work to safeguard California's most vulnerable residents, including the children whose skills will determine the state's future. The problem is that education isn't the only public good worthy of support. The Healthy Families Program, which provides medical insurance for poor children, is even more threatened than the schools. Programs that offer shelter and other basic services for families face severe cuts. And how do we decide between more money for education or retaining healthcare aides for elderly people who otherwise could not live in their homes?"
Failed schools, run by corrupt unions want more money. That money will come from health care for children, mental health programs, services for seniors. Thanks to the Depression, Sacramento can not raise taxes.
When LAUSD has a 50% drop out rate--failures--we need to rethink corrupt control of our failed schools.
What do you think? When the fringe media like the LA Times recognizes this, you know government is in trouble.
