Los Angeles teachers protest plans to cut education budget
Hundreds of teachers in Los Angeles have protested against government plans to cut millions of dollars from the education budget and lay off thousands of teachers, Press TV reports.

The protest came on Tuesday as the schools across California are facing a USD 5 billion budget deficit and the state leaders have announced plans for a tax increase. 

If the tax increase, which will be up for a vote this November, does not pass the state leaders will slash USD 6 billion more from schools’ spending. 

However, teachers said the move would virtually lead to the elimination of some vital programs including adult education and special education. 

They further demanded an end to the massive amount of layoffs and the state budget cuts, highlighting that the measures would cripple California’s education system.
