The Education Wars: Gibbons' War on Teachers

"Gift certificates" for teachers' salaries? Oh my fucking God, what an embarrassment!

Not even Obama and Arne have thought up anything THAT stupid.

Gibbons proposed an Education Gift Certificate so people could send a check to a nonprofit group that would use the money for teacher salaries.

“What are we now, a charity case?” asked Ken Buhrmann, president of the 3,500-member Washoe County Education Association. “Quite frankly, it’s insulting.”

Buhrmann said teachers were already scared over their jobs and paychecks and his speech “scared them even more. This man is not our friend.”

“There was a lot of empty rhetoric, very few specifics and a lot of blaming,” he said.
“It is a mantra for give me your vote.”


They'll be shitcanning teachers right and left. WCSD and other districts won't be limited to just retiring teachers early--they'll be forcing them out.

Any teacher over 50 years of age better watch out, especially when there is an Eli Broad type in charge.
