New York City Dept. Of Education Suspends Special Needs Instructor For Helping Student With A Kickstarter ProjectThe article was so-so, but the comments were more interesting. Here's one person who has been hypnotized by sensational headlines:
It's not "blatant ignorance in our education system", it's a systematic, unionized protection system that needs to be crushed.
Paying a child predator $350K while waiting 6yrs to prosecute the dirt bag is what unions are all about now days.
Recent Headline: "Parents horrified as teachers union fights for $10,000 severance for child molester"
"Michigan’s largest teachers union will force arbitration in an effort to compel a rural school district to pay a $10,000 severance buyout to a former teacher convicted of molesting a teen boy.
The disgraced teacher, Neal Erickson, had been a math and computer-education teacher at Rose City Middle School before he was convicted of having sex with the victim on multiple occasions. The sexual encounters began when the unidentified student was an eighth-grade student."
Union pukes are a child-abusive/molesting protection group.
Here's a more sober appraisal of the situation:
The headlines are one thing, but the reality is that people get falsely accused of wrongdoing quite often. It's important that teachers be afforded special treatment when it comes to due process since they are likely to be targeted by administration, parents, students, etc. Support of unions is incredibly important regardless of the ACCUSATION. Automatically believing an accusation is the problem and is exactly why special protections and union support are incredibly important to prevent the injustice of losing one's job as the result of a false accusation.
I added the underlining to help me make the following point: Gossip more often than not contains only ten percent truth and many false accusations develop as a result. This is especially true in small towns and to the list should be added vindictive board members or board members who have an agenda to dismiss someone in order to make a job for a relative. Not that anything like this would ever be the case in Trona.
It's important to keep in mind that headlines are headlines because they are exceptions to the general rule. Many people accused of unethical behavior are innocent of any wrongdoing and are merely being targeted and teachers are especially vulnerable in this regards. Hence the special protections above and beyond normal due process.
