CUSD Update Why would the union (CUEA-HOPE-PAC) and CUSD teachers donate $200,000 to the recall, Measure H and the union-backed candidates? Does anyone really think the largest special interest group in politics cares about our students? Consider this quote from Albert Shanker, President of the United Federation of Teachers, 1964 to 1984, and President of the American Federation of Teachers, 1974 to 1997: "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children." Please read the following opinion article from Orange County Register Editorial Board member and columnist Brian Calle, endorsing the re-election of Capistrano Unified School District Trustees Ellen Addonizio, Anna Bryson and Larry Christensen. These candidates are also endorsed by the Orange County Republican Party, California Republican Assembly, Family Action PAC, Lincoln Club of Orange County, Atlas PAC, Committee to Reform CUSD and many other conservative organizations and current and former elected officials. This latest endorsement follows the recent Editorial Board endorsements urging a No Vote on the CUSD Recall and a No Vote on Measure H (articles linked below). “It's time to shrink union clout at Capo Unified” Voters in the Capistrano Unified School District general election have a clear choice between the union slate, which is attempting through a two-front strategy to retake the board majority, or current trustees. Call me cynical but whenever I see a teachers union going out of its way to beat incumbent school board members, I think something is fishy. Why? If the union is actively spending money to oust board members, it is usually a clue that board members are standing up to the union and doing the job they were hired to do: look out for taxpayers.
