Is the California Teachers Association an affiliate of the Klu Klux Klan? By policy there are no difference. Both are racist and hate based on race. Both want people hired, not on qualifications but on the color of their skin or who they sleep with.
“California Teachers Association President David Goldberg said the union is committed to fighting “the harmful directives” issued by the U.S. Department of Education to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
In a letter on Friday, the department said school districts, universities, and colleges, must eliminate DEI programs or risk losing federal funds.
“President Trump continues to hurt our students and communities with divisive directives,” Goldberg said in a statement to EdSource. “Let’s be clear about what this latest directive is. It is an attempt to take money from our students, when we should be investing more.”
Trump wants school to educate. The CTA/KKK want schools to promote racism. I wonder if those forced to pay dues to work, know their money is going to support racist policy?
State’s largest teachers union responds to federal order on DEI programs

California Teachers Association President David Goldberg said the union is committed to fighting “the harmful directives” issued by the U.S. Department of Education to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
In a letter on Friday, the department said school districts, universities, and colleges, must eliminate DEI programs or risk losing federal funds.
“President Trump continues to hurt our students and communities with divisive directives,” Goldberg said in a statement to EdSource. “Let’s be clear about what this latest directive is. It is an attempt to take money from our students, when we should be investing more.”
The letter only gives school districts two weeks to dismantle DEI efforts, and many advocates are concerned that districts will comply out of fear of losing funds that help marginalized student groups.
“The Trump administration has failed to fully fund public education and to address important issues for parents and families, such as keeping students safe in schools, providing adequate resources for their public schools, and fixing the educator shortage and pay issues,” Goldberg said.
The California Teacher Association, a union, is much smarter than the US department of Education of today, not the DEA of Obama and Biden, that their students are stellar. They can’t read, write or do math but they can blindly follow what the non-educated classroom leaders tell them.
Giving California schools two weeks to eliminate DEI programs appears to be a preview of coming attractions. Non compliance may jeopardize the school system from receiving Federal funds. We will see if the CTA, which has shown more interest in their paychecks, than low test scores in reading and math, will react to the elimination of racist DEI instruction.
The same goes for non-cooperation with I.C.E. and protecting illegal aliens in Sanctuary Cities. The prospect of losing funding will prove to be a major test for Progressive politicians in California who distain conservatives and believe they have moral superiority over the rest of us.
As a teacher I work with diverse student bodies and diverse staffs. I would hope that the best staff is being hired to teach the students, and that we would treat students with equality and respect, regardless of their innate backgrounds.
People who call DEI “Diversity, Exclusion and Indoctrination” are dead right. Diversity is often a code word for “sufficiently, if not exclusively, nonwhite”. Nor does diverse, in the eyes of the Left, have to even BE diverse. A school or business can be EXCLUSIVE Black, Hispanic or Asian(notice how I said “or” instead of “and/or”, because if it was a mix of even two of the three, the pro “diversity” crowd could have a potential leg to stand on) and still be seen as “diverse”(I don’t care what the Left says, there is NOTHING diverse about all-Black, all-Asian or all-Hispanic), but if it’s White by a moderate or even bare majority, the Lefties go loco-weed.
