Administrators would never be willing to go to the trouble and expense of giving an innocent teacher a hearing. You are a smart man who is right about so many things, but you are naive to think that administrators would give teachers due process rights simply out of the goodness of their hearts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-14887270575092588102015-09-20T13:39:41.005-07:002015-09-20T13:39:41.005-07:00You're *nuts*.

In fact, you'll find I'm quite the fan of it. What I object to is what I call *un*due process and the protection of teachers simply because they're dues-paying members--while at the same time trying to wrap ourselves in the mantle of "children are our special interest".<br /><br />Due process. Not *un*due process. Is that so unreasonable? Should it *really* take 4 years to fire a teacher?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-77166343962291165532015-09-20T10:48:34.393-07:002015-09-20T10:48:34.393-07:00Darren, here's my problem.

But you seem to have no problem at all with an innocent teacher being fired simply because someone accused him of impropriety without any evidence of actual guilt. When are you going to stop attacking teacher's unions simply because they ask that an accused teacher have a hearing before being fired?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-73739069869530483012015-09-16T17:32:52.682-07:002015-09-16T17:32:52.682-07:00From "A Man for All Seasons":

Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?<br /><br />Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!<br /><br />More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you -- where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast -- man's laws, not God's -- and if you cut them down -- and you're just the man to do it -- d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake. <br /><br /><br /><br />I think that Thomas More used to be the good guy and/or hero here and Roper not.<br />Kinda like Atticus Finch was a good guy in "To Kill a Mockingbird" even though he disbelieved a rape claim.<br /><br />Things have changed since the 1950s/60s for those who self identify as "liberal."<br /><br />-Mark RouloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
