Comments on: Pension funds’ goal: High returns or symbolic stands? https://calwatchdog.com/2015/04/11/pension-funds-goal-high-returns-or-symbolic-stands/ Sun, 12 Apr 2015 02:13:07 +0000 hourly 1 By: Richard Rider https://calwatchdog.com/2015/04/11/pension-funds-goal-high-returns-or-symbolic-stands/#comment-114387 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 02:13:07 +0000 http://calwatchdog.com/?p=79060#comment-114387 Yet one more argument for going to earmarked defined contribution (401k-type) plans. Let the employees decide who they want to boycott — the plans can offer “social justice” and environmental mutual fund options.

If not social justice, there’d at least be some Darwinian justice — the most bonkers PC government employees would likely get the lowest rates of return on their retirement plans. It’s a win-win!

I’d like to suggest the CFT mind its own business, fire those teachers who aren’t making the grade and develop a structured set of teaching principles (I’m not referring to Common Core) we can all be proud of. Chris Ailman made the correct response: “All five of them we’ve lost money, and all five of them have not brought about social change.”
