L.A. Teachers Unions " State of Emergency" Rally - Los A ngeles, CA5/13/2011

If you haven ’t heard the news, California is broke. The 2011-2012 budget deficit is over $25 billion dollars. Andwhen you add to that the "time-bomb" of unfunded public employees pension debt of more than $500 billion ,you can see that this state is in deep trouble. So when I heard that teachers in California had declared a "Stateof Emergency" I decided to attend their Downtown rally on Friday, May 13th. The demonstration was sponsoredby the California Teachers Association (CTA), the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) and the CaliforniaFederation of Teachers (AFL-CIO).

Now maybe I ’ve spent too much time at Leftist demonstrations , but the first thing I noticed was the profusion ofpeople in red shirts.

The Los Angeles Unified School District let students out of class early so that they, and their teachers, couldattend the demonstration. The first thing I saw when I walked onto the plaza was a couple of teachers (at least Iassume they were teachers) arriving with a group of students. They quickly began leading them in protestchants, both in Spanish and in English.

And then, while one teacher talked with a reporter, the other marched the chanting students around the plaza.



Before long more groups of students arrived, led by adults - presumably teachers - who also began leadingthe students as they chanted slogans.

In the following video you can hear students instructed by an adult (she ’s the gray-haired woman on the rightwearing a brown shirt with a star on it) chanting, "Student Power! Student Power!" …



Soon the plaza was filled with thousands of teachers, most wearing red t-shirts.

If you’re prone to suspect that our public schools are run by teachers and administrators whose political viewsfall almost exclusively on the left side of the political spectrum, this rally would only confirm your worstsuspicions.


http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/teacher-union-thugs-use-students-to-do-their-dirty-work 6/28The messages printed on the official UTLA t-shirts made no attempt to mask the leftist agenda of the union,and of the teachers wearing them.


http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/teacher-union-thugs-use-students-to-do-their-dirty-work 7/28And the fact that there were actual communists at the rally handing out socialist newspapers and offeringrevolutionary literature did nothing to dispel the feeling that this was very much a left-wing protest.









The kids loved the free stickers.

A reoccurring theme among the various speakers on stage, as well as on the signs and placards carried bythe union members and their supporters, was that "corporate greed" was responsible for California ’s budgetdeficit.



In the following video you can hear a woman on stage complaining about "corporate greed" and then leadingthe teachers in chanting, "No Justice, No Peace!"

The message was that there is no shortage of money in California, it ’s just that the "corporations" and "therich" have it all, instead of the government and the unions.

Pre-printed signs that said "Tax Corporations to Fund Education" were everywhere.



And of course, "Tax the Rich" as well …



It seemed to not occur to anyone that there is a point of taxation where corporations and the "the rich" willsimply leave California for another state. In fact, California is already one of the highest taxed states in thecountry, and Los Angeles is the highest taxed city in the state.

And although this rally was a protest against proposed budget cuts in Sacramento, many of the demonstratorscarried signs aimed at Washington D.C.





And so I walked around Pershing Square looking at the people and the signs and banners they carried.























Just before I headed back to the subway station I stopped and listened to a young female high school studentscreaming into a microphone on the stage, "What Do We Want? Education! When Do We Want It? NOW!!!" Sherepeated it over and over. I reached for my camera, but by the time I had switched it to ‘video mode ’ and startedfilming, she was finished. Instead I captured the next speaker, a young female student who, whilemispronouncing every other word, screamed, "Where are my teachers? Where are my counselors? Where ismy psychologist?!!!"

I headed back to the Metro station satisfied that the money my wife and I are spending to send our daughter toCatholic School is money well spent, but with a bleak feeling for the future of California.
