The Education Wars: The Central Falls Teacher Firings

The union is going to try and appeal the decision by Frances Gallo to fire all of the high school teachers in this tiny Rhode Island district to the city's board of trustees, and of course they are going to fail.

Nobody goes up against school administrators, no matter how corrupt they are. And there is a so-called "Democratic" administration which is cheering on union busting.

I want Obama NOT to get the nomination in 2012. We cannot afford another neoliberal in this country.

Snip:

Jane Sessums, president of the Central Falls Teachers' Union, says union members will be appealing their dismissals to the city's board of trustees. She plans to meet with union representatives and attorneys in the coming days to consider taking other legal steps.

School officials say they will proceed with the firings. No more than half of the teachers fired could be hired back.
