More Money Less Work Saint Paul, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jul 12, 2010 Teachers Unions? More Money Less Work!! Vote for Vouchers! Break this thug union!

Salad in Salinas Salinas, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jul 12, 2010 The problems with schools go beyond unions and illegal immigrants. Our schools need to learn to teach a diversified group of children, our administrators need to learn to lead a diversified group of teachers, our universities need to overhaul their methods to prepare teachers to instruct and lead a diversified group of students, and our state needs to put their current funding into infrastructure, technology and accountability.
OldGuysRule Long Beach, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Jul 12, 2010 Vote for SB955!! Legislation would free California school districts from the restriction of basing teacher layoffs solely on seniority and give districts the ability to consider need and effectiveness. This would help with half of the problem. The other half is medical cost and pension reform.

You pretend the "problems... go beyond ... illegal immigrants." But your obsession with the code word "diversity" makes your hidden agenda obvious. You are simply demanding that gringos not only educate the endless hordes of alien invaders, but also cater to all the aliens' demands and learning disabilities. Nice try, but we can't afford it. Tell your amigos they're going to have to start using birth control. THAT is the most urgent education they need.
