A public meeting called by L.A. school officials to discuss the arrest of two teachers accused of abusing students at a South Los Angeles elementary school turned ugly as angry parents accused the district of a cover-up.
Some parents said they were outraged that school officials would not allow the news media in the meeting. Some chanted "No press, no justice!"
While I tend to be wary of the mood of a crowd, fueled as they are usually more by emotion than facts, I have to say that I think something is going on here that will hopefully expose the corruption in the Los Angeles Unified School District, as well as the local teachers union and the statewide union, the California Teachers Association. I find it odd that in wake of two teachers now arrested for sexual abuse of minors, they decided to scrap the entire teaching staff. The bar to media regarding this public meeting is also troublesome.
My feeling is that this is just the tip of the iceberg and more will be revealed.

LAUSD has been a running joke for years...it continues to be. The teachers' union needs to be disbanded. I'm so glad I work in a right to work state :D
