The news that 700 Oakland teachers had received pink slips sent that merry group of pranksters from the Oakland Education Association into the streets to shut down a branch of Wells Fargo bank. They were ably assisted in this endeavor by representatives of the International Bolshevik Tendency. (No, I’m not making this stuff up.)

Now, less than three weeks later, we learn that the actual number of layoffs is… 35.

I don’t expect the Wells Fargo employees to march over to the offices of the OEA and shut it down. They have more productive things to do.
