The Education Wars IV: The Assholes at the L.A. Times

go on their anti-teacher, anti-tenure filth with this article saying it is so easy to give shitty teachers "lifetime" jobs, because, after all, that's what "tenure" is.

What fucking shit.

Cluephone for the clueless "reporters" at the paper: Teachers are sacked for all kinds of reasons, and once they are sacked, they can NEVER, EVER again work in public schools nationwide because of disclosure questions such as the following:

"Have you ever failed to be rehired, been asked to resign a position, resigned to avoid termination, or terminated from
employment?"

You MUST answer truthfully or risk having your license suspended. Of course if you check off "yes," you never even get asked to an interview.

Public education is the ONLY field where there is systemwide blackballing of workers, and it doesn't have to have anything to do with "misconduct."

If these privatizing assholes want to get rid of "tenure," and ALL teachers are "at-will" employees, then the disclosure questions need to be outlawed. Only criminal background checks would be allowed.
