A pair of LAUSD teachers has taken to YouTube to rally the troops against the Governor's plan to cut funding for school transportation. Read to the cadence of "The Night Before Christmas" the narrator rips a political culture that will sell out children's education instead of raising the funds to do it right.
The full text of the teacher's plea can be found after the jump. Directions on how to make your voice heard on this issue can be found on their YouTube page.
Twas the week before Christmas and all through the city There was talk of some news that was really really @_($*@ The stockings of some were stuffed full of gifts But the state gave us a bucket of @)_@ I teach little children I don't mean to cuss But How the @)$( can kids get to school Without their bus? When I was a child my school was diverse Through the effort of many it took money and work To build a school where children succeed Through special services meeting their needs But now it will all vanish in the blink of an eye If we fail to speak up, we merely comply From coast to coast, across the nation We witness an increase in school segregation Oh no, not here. Not without a fight. Because Education for all is a civil right.
