Cowardly UC economics professors

Police unions’ power wanes, but how about teachers?

If, therefore, we condemn the unhealthy relationship between police unions and politicians, we should subject other public employee unions to the same critical scrutiny.
Take, for instance, what happened last week as the Legislature was adopting a flurry of “trailer bills” to the state budget.
These bills, drafted secretly and enacted quickly, are often used as vehicles to pass major policy changes that would be difficult to make if they had to go through the formal legislative processes.
The state’s powerful education unions, led by the California Teachers Association, greatly benefit from three provisions in the “omnibus education trailer bill.” One prohibits school districts from laying off teachers, the second places a de facto cap on charter school enrollments, and a third dilutes transparency and accountability for educational outcomes.
Notice that Dan Walters has to do the job of analyzing the California boom and bust cycle.  I have no ides why we have UC economics, none whatsoever., They have never done their job in California. All they do is flat earth, except a few, maybe.
