While you may often rasie the claim of us protecting “bad” teachers you never mention that if a teacher commits a crime no union rep may even speak with the alleged criminal. I have represented a lot of education employees that made mistakes. I will be happy to let you know that most of those employees were shown the door through resignation, even in cases where extended hearings and maybe even civil court proceedings were not only with merit but also having a seventy to ninety percent chance of prevailing. You need to dig deeper and find someone else to hang the problem on.

They lost sight of what their primary mission should be a long time ago.

issue is too complicated right now … we gotta pack for our trip tomorrow …
