As both George Santayana and Sir Winston Churchill said, "Those who do not learn from their history are doomed to repeat it." WhileAlex Padilla's Senate Bill 1530, which would have allowed a further erosion of teachers already ignored due process rights, was defeated in committee in Sacramento to the chagrin of Los Angeles Unified School District's (LAUSD) Superintendent John Deasy, the following video is a glimpse into the heart of darkness that Deasy has already empowered in the wake of the Miramonte child abuse scandal, that he continues to shamefully use to attack the vast majority of non-pervert and dedicated teachers, whose only crime is that they are: at the top of the salary scale; about to vest in lifetime health benefits under the rule of 80, which would cost LAUSD another $300,000 in unfunded benefits to add to the already $13 billion they already have; or are just trying to maintain rigorous academic standards for students, who find it easier to denounce their teachers than actually do the work they require. Check out the following video and tell us what you think...if you do. Popout
