    Are there ANY conservatives in the LA education system?

    Guess not.. this is why the LAUSD and so on is in the shape it is in now! Graft and corruption from the UTLA and SEIU unions are beyond description – but nobody seems to care so we get UNEDUCATED and functional illiterate kids and ADULTS!

    What a waste of taxpayer money! Elections here are only and illusion of democracy! Most are just exercises in futility. Should draw straws amongst the libturd democraps and it would be much cheaper! Like being a dog on a sled team.. unless you are the lead dog, the view never changes! Only ROTTEN to the core dumbo-crap victim craps are every elected (AKA coronated) into the hierarchy of the LA school system.. Nothing EVER changes.. Why bother!

    I’m sorry I didn’t see the headline. Is this the future list of “America’s Most Wanted” or future members of the “Water Board”?
