Here is one reason why the LA Unified School District (of which I am a proud graduate) has become the laughing stock of the nation when it comes to secondary education. The woman in the video below identifies herself as Patricia McAlister of the LAUSD. Listen to her expert analysis.
Hat tip to American Thinker and Reason TV
I also find it incredible that the news media-especially the crazies at MSNBC- can continue to attack the Tea Party as extremist and racist while defending the 99%-ers-or whatever they call themselves. The Tea Party does not use this kind of language.
This wave of Occupy protests continues to be marked by arrests, disorder and hate-filled expressions. At what point will the Democrats publicy repudiate this garbage? This is what they are defending. The choices for America's future direction could not be clearer.

She hates the Federal Reserve? Sounds like Tea Party to me!
What this mostly shows is that if you run around putting dissatisfied people in front of a camera, you'll get all kinds of amazing stuff coming out of their mouths.
But Gary, are you saying that 99% of Americans ALL think like this woman talks?
If she represents 99% of us, then I give up. Bangkok, here I come.
Not your kind of place Gary. It has a reputation as a center for kiddie porn, and seriously, I know you're not into that. Just because all the liberals are running to New Zealand doesn't mean you have to run to Bangkok.
Where in the LAUSD does she work? I would be appalled if she was my child's teacher, wouldn't you be?
Who knows, F. No wonder 50% of the kids drop out.
Siarlys,
Wrong even on Bangkok. You obviously have not been there. I lived there three years. Yes, there is some underage prostition, which I certainly condemn. I have never known it asa center of kiddie porn, but I have not been back since 82.
The woman is dumber than a box of rocks.
I don't know how widespread her views are amoung the people who are protesting. I do know that the comments after the video on youtube are pretty disturbing.
The Occupy protests are like an inkblot. People can find whatever views they want and project that most of the protesters are protesting for this or that cause/reason.
To me all it looks like is there are people frustrated but I am not sure what most of them are really frustrated about or what the majority would find a just solution. Since they don't have any leaders or structure yet, it is hard to get behind the protesters as a group or say the majority of the protesters are wrong.
There are a lot of individual protesters that I have seen that are either crazy or who I disagree with.

I would guess that this woman works in the cafeteria. When I was young there were a few older substitute teachers who talked like this. (They were considered conservatives in those days.) She doesn't sound like she even has the minimal skills to get a teaching certificate.
HOLD THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gary, I have some news that will warm the cockles of your conservative Orange County Israel-loving heart!
Tonight, I was at a forum with two state senators and three state assembly representatives, hearing from "The 99%." It was more or less of a love fest. The two senators were both charter members of the Wisconsin 14, and one of them had dumped a tired old Democrat in the primary last year. One of the assembly reps was a challenger in the recent recall elections and VERY popular with the crowd that turned out. Our only Latina assembly rep was there too. But here is the part you are going to love:
In all the comments, exhortations and questions, talking about the bill to tax millionaires 1% extra to pay for technical colleges to train more people for the currently available jobs, talking about all the jobs Scott Walker has destroyed, an occasional veteran of the state capitol occupation last February leading chants of "Tell me what democracy looks like? This is what democracy looks like" ... There was NOT ONE REFERENCE to "Zionist Jews."
Your telegram of congratulations can be sent to JobsNowWisconsin...
...or wait... maybe Gary is NOT happy... maybe Gary LIKES being able to accuse us of anti-Semitism. He isn't DISAPPOINTED to have the little canard taken away from him is he... well, he'll let us know, one way or the other.
Tell me Siarlys, when the 1% has no more money where will you get the money for your feel good, bs programs?
Gary, you really need to read up on some subjects and stop living in your glorious past. 40 percent of prostitues in Thailand are children, this is not just about kiddie porn, this is disgusting because most of the clients are older American and European men. Bangkok is part of Thailand, right?
Ingrid,
If your figures are correct, indeed much has changed. Few crimes are worse than that.
Are you sure you are not talking about cambodia because there is a huge problem with forced child prostitution there. There was a TV special on anout it a few years back.
Findalis, where do you get off insinuating that I support "feel good programs"? I believe that "those who work will eat," as they used to say in socialist countries. But, there are some evil twists to what it takes to even GET work in this country. I want to untwist those little obstacles, and THEN we can truly say "work or starve."
As to "when the 1% has no more money," I have advocated taxing up to 50% of annual INCOME. So they should never run out. In fact, they will keep having huge bundles to spend on their yachts and vacations to Aruba, and buying child prostitutes in Thailand, or whatever else they spend it on.
When I start talking about confiscating all their property, you can ask what I am going to do to finance the following year's budget. Did you ever read about the time Chris Hani, secretary general of the Communist Party of South Africa, was invited to speak at a luncheon of that nation's Chamber of Commerce? He told them, there will have to be a redistribution. It cannot be the kind of redistribution that kills the cow.
You and your silly caricatures... you and Margaret Thatcher. You really don't have any idea, do you?
Siarlys,
What connection do you make between the 1%-ers (rich, Wall Street types, I guess) and child prostitution in Thaliand? Your bias against the rich is showing. As long as someone has earned their wealth honestly, I do not resent them. I want to emulate them. Demonizing successful people will bring nobody out of poverty.
Gary, my bias against "the rich" is that many have NOT come by their wealth honestly. As for child prostitutes in Thailand, while it is not true that all millionaires patronize child prostitutes, it is true that those who fly to Thailand to do so tend to have substantial discretionary income.*
A sane, productive economy, would substantially reward direct investment, that is, investment in NEW plant, or research, or methods, or production processes, as distinct from buying some stock shares that have been around for decades. Purchase of the latter would be rewarded in dividends, and in modest increase in value based on reinvestment of gross profit to expand actual plant, research, etc.
We have far too many people getting rich off of merely handling other people's money, or buying and selling what other people produce.
Further, while I have no objection to someone who starts a new enterprise from scratch making a few million for themselves (over and above expenses), by the time they are making hundreds of millions, at least half of those hundreds of millions should be providing substantial increases in remuneration to the entire panoply of their employees. That would still make the original guy quite wealthy, while the employees are merely middle class success stories. Too many make a good part of their wealth by paying their employees minimum wage. EVERYONE contributes to the success of an enterprise.
*The syntax comes from John Stuart Mills's statement "While it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
They had a segment on this lady on KTLA news last night. She has been let go from the LAUSD. She was a substitute teacher. She refuses to back down from her statement because she said it was true.
The reporter said something to the effect that if someone said that blacks were causing a mess that would be a problem. She responded by saying something like if we were causing the downfall of society we should be run out of town or something like that.
She is so dumb so doesn't realize how dumb she is or looks.

That's good. Anybody who talks like that should not be a teacher of any kind, including substitute.
I'm not saying she should be fired for saying the Zionist Jews run the banks and should be run out of the country.
I'm saying if she is qualified to teach, she should know how to back up her introduction with a body of supportive facts, and summarize them with a conclusion.
Since there are no known facts to sustain her premise, she shouldn't be talking nonsense if she expects to teach.
