@Hondo: I am not involved in those dealings, I don’t know that they tookthe teacher’s side concerning his guilt or innocense. I would imaginge they were just looking after the legal rights of the accused as any defense lawyer would do. There were no unions when I was in school either–I lived in a Red State. If you take a look at the salary structures in the public entities and the schools, in CA, you will see that the upper management ranks make several times more than the rank and file. Where do you think the rank and file would be on those scales now, if the unions did not exist. I think I know.

See Saw:
Today’s public unions take the side of the pedophile employee every time. Name me one time the public union has taken the side of the molested or assaulted student.
When I was in school, there was no unions and our teachers would set fire to any pedophile in their ranks.
Today’s public unions are human monsters.

Well, he indicted all public employees, as usual. I don’t know the details of that particular case, but I’m sure whatever the union did, was to protect the legal rights of the defendant, who is innocent until proven guilty. The rank and file has very little clout when it comes to elections–the money is the leading factor. You just have to hope that the ones putting up the money have the same values as you.

This article did not indict all teachers. It said that the union defended a teacher suspected (with heavy evidence, by the way) of child sexual abuse.

The article was solely about what the union did for this alleged pervert teacher. It didn’t even take the rank-and-file teacher to task for not riding their union’s leadership for defending this guy. We are left to assume that the rank-and-file will vote these jerks out on the next election cycle. Let’s see if our faith in the rank-and-file is well placed.

I’m sure there are editorial writers somewhere, that you do not know, who do despicable things. The teacher was a despicable, mentally sick person. It doesn’t mean that you should indict the whole teaching profession as being morally corupt! My own religious upbringing was Catholic–that doesn’t mean I am proud of some of the despicable things that have occured under the leadership of the Church. You need to put stop your irrational hatrid of the public sector. It contains people who are just as upstanding and honorable as you, except for the ones who aren’t.
