I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to how defunding the police will result in schools that are safer from COVID-19.
L.A. Teachers Union: Schools Can’t Reopen Unless Charter Schools Shut Down, Police Defunded | News Break

Just read the link in the OP....wow, huge list of demands according to the article

IMHO it just doesn't seem plausible to me

yes, public schools aren't happy that funding that could have gone to them goes to Charter schools...and there are a lot of big cities looking to defund the men in blue

but a teacher's union basically threating a work stoppage for these reasons?....I tend to think not..

this is one of those things that I'd check out on 'snopes.com' before spreading it around
