This article, about teachers from the LA area opposing state and local cuts on education, is authoritative because it discusses both sides of the argument. First, the author talks about the teacher's side to the cuts in education; then he talks about Arnold Schwarzenegger's side. The people want these cuts to disappear because not only are the teachers out of a job; in the end it is hurting the students futures. If the teachers lose their jobs then that means they may not be able to find another one; so they may be in a lot of debts, or worse they can be evicted from there home. The students would be getting penalized because if there are fewer teachers at a school then that means less teacher to student time, which can effect the students grade.
