The Education Wars

This post on Teachers.net shows I am not bullshitting about my case:

Many law firms both in Carson City/Reno and Las Vegas will NEVER go
up against entities like WCSD and CCSD. The reason is simple: both
of these school districts have "deep pockets" and because they can
intimidate these law firms and have also the ability to coerce
their employees. Yes, they both will make sure their witnesses will
lie. If you think that teachers will stand up to the school
district, you are absolutely naive. Even if you win, both
districts will appeal, and they will continue to do that until you
are worn out. Remember it's not their money ---- it's the money
they get from the state. After you are worn out, and your law firm
sees the handwriting on the wall, they will drop you and your
case. Both of these school districts know this game, and as result
they continue to win.

I know of a case with a teacher in CCSD who was terminated. The
principal stated unequivocally on the stand that she "violated his
civil rights." He won the case, but CCSD is still appealing the
monetary award. That was 8 years ago. He's still waiting for
compensation. BTW - the principal the following year was named
Administrator of the Year. She also received the Milliken award
for $25K. There is no justice in this world

That's what is so bad. School districts get away with all sorts of criminality because they can, and because the public actually believes they are benevolent organizations, like churches.
