NO local news reported this at all yesterday, when the decision came down at about 3:00 p.m. I haven't had time to look today. Major local L.A. station still didn't as of 24 hours later. (KTLA)
Since so many police are leaving due to the forced Jabberwocky, I propose we repurpose that glut of idle 'teachers' to don the blue and hit the streets. They can coach violent criminals the ins & outs of proper pronoun usage.
Good idea. And people like me that are good teachers but didn't want to get into the soul crush of the Teaching Industrial Complex can take over now...
It is being forced. There's many forms of coercion. Some folks are able to resist. For some the "choice" is take it or lose your job and/or not be allowed to work at all in the field. That is pretty much my situation, indirectly: no jabs, no travel. No travel, no making a buck the way I make bucks.
I could have said no, and found a completely different way to make a living. So that was a choice. But not one anyone should be forced to make IMO.
I agree with you. And I also think that no one should be kicked out of their housing (shelter and safety) without extreme need to do so. AND nobody should be coerced into choosing between an unlawful mandate(s) and having a source of income.
So has California. Remember the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Very few were homeless, and then, concentrated around "The Nickel" - 5th street downtown. Now, they're everywhere. Garcetti during his first election said he'd "look into it" and the count then was between 28 and 30k. Now it's over 80k.
I live across the Sound. I don't go over there no mo. And I lived in the Bay Area... that went to shit, too. I'm just sick of the SHITTY-NESS, I want a Sunshiney Day for a change, metaphysically speaking.
I'm not convinced that Inslee and/or Seattle won't try to mandate the vax to attend school now that it's 'approved'. He's already mandated boosters for state workers.
In CA here, I don't trust any elected official, other than 2 in the CA Assembly who filed a lawsuit against Newsom ...and WON. He was supposed to eliminate his "State of Emergency" but as of July 4th 2022 - DAY 840 of his "emergency" and the a-hole went to Montana to see his wife's family and vacation - despite the fact that CA banned State funded travel to "racist" states. LOL
In California it's illegal to take your kid out of school without proving that you have either enrolled them in a private school approved by the state, or you are home-schooling according to the state approved and provided curriculum - which is approved by the NEA.
They will fight you for the money, and they have resources. Been there, done that, got stories.
That is not true. We are in California and homeschooling through high school, we file psa once a year and we are left strictly alone. Kids who want to homeschool through a charter actually get funds to spend on their education (although the charter then tells you what you can or cannot do.) California has very good homeschool laws.
Thanks for the update. The process has changed. Just looked and it seems the law is the same in that all kids under 16 must be enrolled in a public school, a private school approved by the state, or an approved home schooling or alternative education program. It sounds like the process for "approved" home schooling has changed so as to be more reasonable.
Back when my son was of school age (more than a decade back) it was more difficult. The "program" had to at least claim to comply with NEA approved curriculum. When my son was in high school, "experts" at his high school declared he had learning disability and was due to this so called disability failing. The disability turned out to be he was bored by the pathetic pace of his classes. Got him into an program in which he could work at a more reasonable pace, and finished 2 and a half years of high school curriculum in 4 months. That program was made possible by the charter program but was administered by a local district, who viewed it primarily as a way to shuffle off problem students out of sight and thus out of mind. Thanks to a dedicated teacher/mentor/coach, it worked.
In an imperfect system both can be true. From a UK HomeEd forum experience about 80% of parents sailed through with a letter or an F U, 20% seemed to get caught up in some frightful protracted battle with some council officials, home inspections.
I think the LEA (Local Education Authority) smell blood and fear and go for anyone who hasn't got a clear picture.
Interestingly most of the anglosphere supports/allows HomeEd and it's literally illegal in most of Continental Europe.
I cannot comment on Europe. In California, a home inspection can be made (but is virtually unheard of) but there are clear guidelines about what they can and cannot ask for (basically they can see attendance records and a psa letter filed with the department of education.)
I am reminded of one of those bloody moments when I was involved in education reform here in California. As part of our due diligence we had 3 CPAs who audited the budgets of a dozen districts, including our local district. The state law mandates each district publish at least annually a budget and full accounting of spending. The problem is few actually do. The state provides a document template. Districts file the document but don't bother to fill in most of the blanks in the template. Have all the chapter headings, but no content. Really.
In a local district "open" meeting, the accountants presented the reports filed by the district for the prior 5 years. Mostly blank documents. The superintendent could not explain this. The staff would not explain this. None had any idea how much money they received nor how they spent what they had. This followed a pitch by the superintendent for more funding - another sales tax add on "for education". When asked how much of the existing sales tax add ons supposed to be "for education" actually made it to the district, the answer was...wait for it....we don't know exactly. Exactly? Well, not imprecisely. In fact, not at all. But we're sure we need more.
At that time, state taxpayers were paying around $20,000 per year per student on K through 12.
Money & lawsuits talk - itтАЩs amazing the creativity of parents who care for their kids - co-ops, home-schooling, great courses & curriculums available ... takes about one to
two years of vacating the abysmal system & parents who are willing to
bite the bullet & invest in their kids schooling outside of the system. Best thing we ever did with ours. When
you realize there were no тАЬpublicтАЭ govt schools in this country until the later part of 1800тАЩs (Horace Mann, Massachusetts public school system. And not nationwide until
the тАЬfatherтАЭ of тАЬregressiveтАЭ education, the awful socialistic, John Dewey got his hooks into the promotion & propagation & indoctrination of the system. Because we all can see how horribly illiterate our Founding Fathers & even Honest Abe Lincoln & Grover Cleveland, etc, etc were!
Yes and then the Montessori schools took hold here - and things accelerated going downhill. 1970s to 1980s began the "everyone gets a trophy" and no kid learned responsibility, taking ownership of failure and trying to do better.
Take your kids out of school. If enough do, the parents will learn they are in charge.
We did. School Boards couldn't care less about students. It's all politics.
Yes it is politics, but money leaves with each student, so when you hit that critical number, they have no choice.
Yep. Seattle is freaking out because so many kids are leaving.
L.A. also. Both San Diego and Los Angeles school districts lost for forced vax as unconstitutional.
That it is. But sad that they didn't lose because it's stupid and dangerous.
If only that mattered :-(
The West Coast is now the Worst Coast... Daaaaamn. But I hope AngrySenior means the jab mandate was unConstitutional...
Yes, oddly enough, same Judge reversed himself. It IS unconstitutional.
Here's the ruling from a web site: https://elamerican.com/judge-strikes-down-l-a-schools-vaccine-mandate-as-illegal-blocks-it-from-segregating-kids-into-independent-study/

Cool enough. Thanks.

Is that Jabberwocky or jabberwacky?
It all seems rather wacky to me
Jab = Jabberwocky = nonsense words = Covid narrative
This is just something I'm having fun with I guess... if you haven't read this in a while, here you go:
Jabberwocky
BY LEWIS CARROLL
тАЩTwas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
тАЬBeware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!тАЭ
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he soughtтАФ
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
тАЬAnd hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!тАЭ
He chortled in his joy.
тАЩTwas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Great idea. And because they're enlightened, they won't need weapons.
That's what they've been teaching our kids - right?
Good idea. And people like me that are good teachers but didn't want to get into the soul crush of the Teaching Industrial Complex can take over now...
Wait, the jab cannot be forced, right?
It is being forced. There's many forms of coercion. Some folks are able to resist. For some the "choice" is take it or lose your job and/or not be allowed to work at all in the field. That is pretty much my situation, indirectly: no jabs, no travel. No travel, no making a buck the way I make bucks.

I agree with you. And I also think that no one should be kicked out of their housing (shelter and safety) without extreme need to do so. AND nobody should be coerced into choosing between an unlawful mandate(s) and having a source of income.
It still can. Over 40,000 soldiers are about to be kicked out of the military.
Really? I hope so. My extremely woke friend who canтАЩt wait for everlasting boosters lives there. I wonder if it will wake her up a bit.
More likely to put her to sleep, permanently. :(
Although, I'm not exactly sure how you tell that Seattle is freaking out. That's just SSDD for that cesspool. LOL
I remember when Seattle was kinda cool. But I was a baby. ;)
Seattle is freakin out, period.
For good reason. It's gone from crown jewel of the northwest to laughable shithole in under 20 years.
So has California. Remember the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Very few were homeless, and then, concentrated around "The Nickel" - 5th street downtown. Now, they're everywhere. Garcetti during his first election said he'd "look into it" and the count then was between 28 and 30k. Now it's over 80k.
I live across the Sound. I don't go over there no mo. And I lived in the Bay Area... that went to shit, too. I'm just sick of the SHITTY-NESS, I want a Sunshiney Day for a change, metaphysically speaking.
For the same reason.
Really? ThatтАЩs awesomeя┐╝

Seattle Public Schools' enrollment dip to cause $28 million loss in state funding
It's supposed to be even worse for the upcoming year affecting 2023-24, though I can't find the article I recently read on the subject. :/
Edit: Here we go!
https://www.seattletimes.com/education-lab/student-enrollment-in-seattle-continues-to-drop-heres-what-it-means/
Seattle Public Schools is projecting its lowest enrollment numbers for the 2022-23 school year since at least 2015.
In the last two years, Seattle had a 6.4% enrollment drop, Berge said, almost double the stateтАЩs 3.4% decline.
Clearly they're afraid of SPS's inability to protect their children from COVID, and that's why they're pulling their kids.
I'm not convinced that Inslee and/or Seattle won't try to mandate the vax to attend school now that it's 'approved'. He's already mandated boosters for state workers.
NYC has already done it.
The U.S. is being rotted from the corners into the middle by the cancerous rot that is "liberalism."
In CA here, I don't trust any elected official, other than 2 in the CA Assembly who filed a lawsuit against Newsom ...and WON. He was supposed to eliminate his "State of Emergency" but as of July 4th 2022 - DAY 840 of his "emergency" and the a-hole went to Montana to see his wife's family and vacation - despite the fact that CA banned State funded travel to "racist" states. LOL
Vermont here. Same.
We pay tuition for our grandchildren. C'mon grannies! Step up if you can...
Collapse the government education system. Any education for children would be an improvement.
School boards care about money.

WTF.
So right!
Absolutely!
And money.
Los Angeles' LAUSD lost over 100k enrollments. Yesterday, LAUSD lost a ruling (sued in 2021) to force kids to be vaxxed - unconstitutional.

Yep. Read John Taylor Gatto
