Livegreen,
Instead of supporting the decent law-abiding,tax-paying citizens the OEA makes it clear that they support the perpetually infantile,irresponsible and largely lifetime public leeches and criminals. It just proves what the real intentions of this parasitic organization along with NEA and CTA(which by force of law extracts public money before it is even paid to teachers irregardless if they are members or not)automatic wealth redistribution at its finest.No morals at all, and no shame either(as long as the tax money just keeps rollin’ in).

Will this bring practical change to the OEA? For example, will the OEA continue to vote on political and administrative issues outside of education, that it knows little about? I note a young teacher spoke up against the Gang Injunction at City Council, announcing she officially represented the OEA’s position.

I wonder when the Teachers, Lawyers representing the gang members, the Mayor, and City Councilmembers who are against the Police Chief, will take control and run the Police Dept.? They seem to think they know better, when they haven’t even mastered their own direct areas of expertise, and their results are dubious at best.

The OEA has made it clear: They support Gangs (specifically the Nortenos) over the Chief of Police. And Gang members over inner city residents trying to steer clear of them.
