L.A. schools disrupted by sit-ins, sick-ins and walkouts

The L.A. Times reports on the problem of socialist run education:
Schools throughout Los Angeles were disrupted today as thousands of teachers called in sick and hundreds of high school students walked out of classrooms to protest possible teacher layoffs at the nation's second-largest school district.

Teachers said they planned to storm the Los Angeles Unified School District's headquarters in downtown Los Angeles today and "jump on some desks" as an act of civil disobedience, according to a memo circulated to district officials by school district Police Chief Lawrence Manion.

But if arrests became necessary, they would let Los Angeles Police Department officers step in to handle the situation.
It's time to separate education from state.
