from Ashland, Oregon, watching Michael Moore's newest documentary Capitalism: A Love Story. Naturally it was a movie describing how we got into this current economic mess, focusing on foreclosures, "dead peasant" clauses by employers wanting to cash in on employees' deaths, and especially the crooks on Wall Street who control the economy and Congress and how they screwed it the hell up.
Yes, the average people need to take action because there are far more of everybody else than there are of the itty-bitty numbers of rich who have profited from the rest of the people. The main problem as I see it is apathy, although it may not last that much longer.
The lack of jobs may be the catalyst for people taking to the streets--finally.

I Will Have to Watch
this documentary when it comes out.
I have never heard of such a thing for teachers accused of "wrongdoing." In this neck of the woods, when you are suspended, you are sent home, with or without pay. And if you were like me and wrongfully terminated and stupidly went through arbitration instead of hiring an outside lawyer and filing a civil suit in federal court, you still stay home.
Never, ever teach without having an outside attorney for obvious reasons of threats and intimidation from students, parents, and especially asshole administrators. I learned this truism the hard way.
More is here and here.
