Citing &#8220;solidarity&#8221; and a need for raises and &#8220;respect,&#8221; they\u2019re walking off the job, and once again pulling the rug out from under vulnerable children who are already suffering immensely from loss of learning and extreme emotional trauma, all thanks to UTLA. <\/p>\n<p>UTLA is also dealing another blow to the great teachers and school employees dedicated to providing children an excellent and uninterrupted education. You likely don\u2019t know these good folks exist since UTLA and most media drown out their voices, but there are hundreds of LAUSD employees of integrity who get bullied by UTLA for putting the children first.<\/p>\n<p>The union just can\u2019t help itself. Using children and teachers as pawns in a political game that pits students against adult entitlements, gives unions and their political allies great power. That\u2019s why they silence the voices of educators who are awake to their corruption, and use manipulated and unsuspecting teachers as poster children for the union agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles Times printed an op-ed written by a UTLA poster teacher whose piece was full of union talking points. She shared she was striking in part because teachers need respect. It seems lost on her that abandoning the children she was hired to serve is not a respectable thing to do \u2013 for any reason. And that to receive respect, one must be respectable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/500000-students-home-from-school-first-day-los-angeles-union-strike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MORE THAN 500,000 STUDENTS HOME FROM SCHOOL ON FIRST DAY OF LOS ANGELES UNION STRIKE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps she\u2019s unaware that at the last UTLA strike, union activists were caught on camera physically blocking a family as they tried to drive into the school. With Antifa-like bullying, they bounced the car up and down \u2013 terrorizing the children inside. That\u2019s not behavior worthy of respect.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe she doesn\u2019t know that UTLA had backroom deals with the CDC to keep schools closed while denying children the right to learn. Or that UTLA abandoned teachers opposed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/infectious-disease\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID vaccine mandates<\/a> and still refuses to support the more than 1,000 LAUSD employees who\u2019ve been forced from their jobs for choosing to make their own medical decisions.<\/p>\n<p>UTLA is so void of respectable behavior that dozens of LAUSD teachers told me, &#8220;We believe in doing the exact opposite of whatever UTLA tells us to do as they have been found untrustworthy. We\u2019ve awakened to the ways they are the source of the perils in our schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So UTLA may want respect, but it has earned our contempt. We loathe UTLA because it has placed its own selfish desires above the needs and rights of children, good teachers, parents, and taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>Tragically, union behavior paints all teachers (even the great ones) with the broad brush of contempt. But most teachers are nothing like the unions that claim to represent them.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of good teachers witnessed a UTLA rally on March 15. They told me, &#8220;UTLA paraded posters of our superintendent dressed as a donkey and wished death upon him. They said to avoid a strike, LAUSD must agree to a list of demands \u2013 many of which have nothing to do with education. This is not a union that speaks for the teachers and students of LAUSD.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But you won\u2019t see the testimonies of these dedicated teachers in the LA Times or most media outlets. And that\u2019s a tragedy because the radical political <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/economy\/labor-unions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agenda of the union<\/a> is so disturbing that many of these teachers \u2013 at great personal cost \u2013 will cross the picket line during the strike. These are the people we can respect \u2013 true servants, putting themselves in harm\u2019s way in defense of children and decency.<\/p>\n<p>So, how about we stop giving air to disrespectful union strikes, and instead listen to the teachers who have the respect and courage to cross the picket line?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/newsletters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO GET THE OPINION NEWSLETTER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll have newsworthy stories of union mafia tactics used against them as they stand in defense of our children. And since they\u2019re also rejecting unions entirely by exercising their newfound right to stop paying union dues, they\u2019ll suffer trauma at the hands of our corrupted union-controlled educational system.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to liberate teachers from these thuggish unions. Time to stop allowing imposters like UTLA and other so-called teacher unions to use the teaching profession, our schools, and our students to push their nasty agenda.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to respect students, parents, and great teachers again and show the contemptible ones the door. It\u2019s time to remove UTLA and all other unions from our schools. We can no longer allow such organizations to hold us all hostage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/person\/f\/rebecca-friedrichs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM REBECCA FRIEDRICHS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/public-school-teacher-know-firsthand-los-angeles-school-strikes-students\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/public-school-teacher-know-firsthand-los-angeles-school-strikes-students <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), the union behind the draconian school closures that brought untold harm to LAUSD students, their families and communities, are once [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"twitter_2902945987_2902945987":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[16563],"tags":[],"stock_ticker":[],"class_list":["post-59962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
