This is the editorial for this month. I can't believe that we have to have this fight! The Colorado state senate is totally out of line for trying to take away our due process rights as teachers. This is yet another attack on teachers in the ongoing Republican, conservative effort to ruin public education. Who the hell do they think they are?

This editorial pokes fun at the school district's fear of spending down the rather large rainy day fund they have. Only 50 million of that fund is required by law to be saved, and yet there is nearly three times that much.

So, things are pretty bleak in the education field. This is the latest editorial cartoon I created for my teachers union newspaper the JCEA Insight. This year the economic calamity has finally come home to roost in the field of education. Many districts in Colorado will be coming up short on the money side of things thanks to the Colorado legislature and Governor slashing the budget and once more cutting into education. They do this even though voters explicitly told them not to with the passage last year of Amendment 23. It seems to me that government is not doing a good job listening to the voters.
