		<description>California Teacher’s Association Responds to “Camilla Letter”
Board Member Jim Rogers responds directly to student letter with abrupt condescension, sparking local outrage

In a letter questioning CTA choices in this matter, Folsom High School student Camilla X, wrote to CTA officials protesting their use of teacher funds and received this shockingly worded reply from CTA/NEA coordinator, Jim Rogers….and this is a direct quote:

“Thanks, Sweetie, but it’s over for now. And it’s really none of your business.”

		<description>Thank you for supporting teachers who feel like this was a big waste of our union dues!  I was annoyed by the $250,000 donation at first, but the $1 million was just too much.  That makes CTA the largest institutional donor to No on 8.  If they have so much money, why not work with my local union to cut dues so we can better support our families in this tough economy?  See a great youtube video from a teacher on my blog: http://californiacrusader.wordpress.com/2008/10/17/cta-spending-my-hard-earned-dues/</description>
