SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Dozens of California teachers rallied Monday in downtown San Francisco, launching a week of statewide protests over the threat of deep budget cuts to public education.

The demonstrations and teach-ins were planned as schools face the prospect of mass layoffs, program cuts and shorter school years. The protests will culminate Friday with a sit-in at the state Capitol.

"We're here to make a statement," said Dennis Kelly, president of United Educators of San Francisco, which represents more than 6,000 employees of the San Francisco Unified School District.

Kelly was among about 100 school personnel who gathered at 5:30 a.m. and marched to school district headquarters. About 60 then boarded a chartered bus to Sacramento to protest and lobby lawmakers.

Odd, AP didn't mention an opposing viewpoint. How journalistic!

The Associated Press doesn't believe there is such a thing as a dissenting opinion.

As a Father of LAUSD kids, the waste is enormous. The amount paid to "educate" our kids us phathomable.

What's the dollar amounts paid for public education?

When I was a kid going to school in northern California in the beginning of the New Math era, we were expected to, and did, provide our own school supplies and our parents provided us with a bag lunch better than anything the school could provide.

Now, I pass school supplies drives run by schools, begging for paper and pencils. WTF? Where does the money go? I'll tell you: into bank accounts as graft. They claim they cannot provide lunches to the children. I say that is the parent's job. Good money after bad.

Like in third world countries? Sounds like the educational system in Pakistan or Somalia.

No, Destro, it sounds like a prosperous time before the radical left destroyed this country through perverting its education system. We once had an education system the envy of the world. You and yours couldn't stand that so you destroyed it with commie pos indoctrinators and protected them with unions.

In California it was when Jerry Brown's father was governor.

Why am I not surprised to see you defending this destruction of kids lives before they get a chance to start.

But then I'm sure you support the murder of pre-born children. You must if you support the usurper. You and war both are the two most disgusting pigs on this board.

Currently California spends $7,500 (rounded off) per student; a local private school charges $33,500 (rounded off) per student. If it is true that you get what you pay for, which school do you think does a better job? If the school gets to pick and choose which students it will accept, which school has a better outcome in terms of test scores?

But then I'm sure you support the murder of pre-born children. You must if you support the usurper. You and war both are the two most disgusting pigs on this board.

Well that's a winning argument if ever I read one.

That's the one thing I could never figure out about the Dumbassocrats, why they love abortion...... You would think that will all the "EMPATHY" they exude they would be against it????

More single moms to give mega handouts to.. This also encourages the father to not take responsibility for her and the child through marriage, or pay child support....

More government sponsored orphanages...... That way they get an early start on brainwashing the kids into socialism.

More lazy, stupid POS Democrat voters on Welfare, Food stamps, WIC....etc..etc..

More losers on the dole means they have to collect more taxes....

I mean what's not to like if your a Libtard politician, you get the best of all worlds.... They should be orgasmic about being pro-life, but they aren't...... WHY?????
