Teachers Can Protest State Budget

What will your children be doing the first hour of classes on Friday? Well, the teachers have already made plans:

Los Angeles teachers can skip the first hour of their workday Friday to protest the state's education budget while students are overseen by aides and administrators, a Superior Court judge ruled today.

The Los Angeles Unified School District had filed for a temporary restraining order this morning, but Superior Court Judge David P. Yaffe declined the request. Earlier in the week, the state Public Employment Relations Board also declined to file an injunction on behalf of the district, which has expressed concern that the demonstration could endanger students.
