Political housecleaning
Thank you Niki Roth for your letter “View from the Cleanup Crew.”(Letters, March 3) It was extremely insightful and confirmed my belief of all the agendas the Calif Teachers Union have along with many “educators” and administrators.

It was my first holiday in San Diego, 3000 miles from my New England hometown.
