Los Angeles typifies the horror of dems in control

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has issued an edict that should make us all glad we don’t live in democrat controlled California. The open borders proponent, reacting to the COVID-19 virus has now banned bicycle riding and walking outdoors, telling residents of the city, “It’s time to cancel everything.”

Read Garcetti’s newly revised 12-page list of mandates and restrictions.

Garcetti’s election mandate was underwhelming. Though he was re-elected with 81.4% of the vote in 2017, voter turnout was only 20%. A democrat, he carried the endorsement of the radical United Teachers Los Angeles union (UTLA) which donates exclusively to leftists* and supports defunding the police, Medicare for all, increased taxation, redistribution of wealth, including allocating unspecified $billions to illegal aliens and placing a moratorium on charter schools, which provide parents an educational alternative to the failing public schools.

The union, which is currently fighting reopening schools, includes 35,000 teachers who represent more than 1,000 schools, which includes most of the city of Los Angeles. The second-largest teachers union in the nation, it now declares they are “grieving and outraged and have an obligation to act” incorporating a BLM curriculum in K-12 schools to eradicate what UTLA refers to as “deeply ingrained racism.”

Schools have become a fertile ground for indoctrinating and propagandizing school children with extremist views, when they need to learn to read, write, be proficient in math, learn geography and revere the magnificent history of America’s founding that uniquely sets us apart, making the USA the dream destination for so many.
