The Teachers Should Strike

I have been a member of a union twice. Both times it was forced upon me. Both were for different summer jobs while I was in college. I was a supervisor in a union plant and I saw how the union stifles productivity, rewards mediocrity, and protects bad workers. I hate unions as a dinosaur of past times. I’m am certainly not a fan if f teachers unions and I am against teachers strikes. Until now..

The teachers at the Newport News Schools should walk out on Monday in solidarity and protest. After a first grade teacher was shot by a six year-old earlier this school year, I’m sure you remember the case, the school district says it A simple workman’s comp case. Seriously, teaching a violent, murderous kid and getting shot is “a routine part of the job”? 

Administrators had reports this kid had a gun and failed to adequately search him or call the cops. Is it worth $40 million, that I don’t know, but it is certainly not a simple workman’s comp case. 

This is why people hate lawyers.
