Campbell Brown tearfully files tenure suit--The poor dear cried!

Eliza Shapiro

Choking back tears, Campbell Brown announced Monday that her education reform group had formally filed a legal complaint in Albany seeking to invalidate New York's teacher tenure laws.

"This is not going to be easy and they are so incredibly brave to be taking this on," she said at a press conference on the steps of City Hall, with parents and children gathered around her.

Brown demurred on her role in bringing the lawsuit, saying she was "just proud to be holding the coats" of the plaintiffs on the lawsuit, which she organized.

Brown, the former CNN anchor, told reporters that her group, the Partnership for Educational Justice (P.E.J.), may file more lawsuits against teacher tenure in other states. She has also recently indicated that she views legal action against teacher tenure as a potential opening to challenge an array of other union-backed teacher protections.

4. So who wants to go into teaching?

Seems to me it is a profession with only detractors.
I can remember when we honored teachers. I think most of us have a teacher or two who we feel we owe a debt of gratitude to. I have a couple who taught me some very important things that have made a big plus in my life. I am ashamed of our society today that attacks rather than supports the profession. It has gotten caught up in the right wing false ideology thing that many good things have.

Not saying spouses have identical political views, but not sure how a liberal or even a moderate could go for him. Certainly not because of his looks.

17. The war against teachers (and nurses) is actually a war against women.

This is thinly-veiled "keep women down" movement by the usual fascist suspects, of course republicans.
Corporate America, despite the few token women leaders they prop up, likes the current wage inequality that exist for women professionals and they are committed to maintaining this condition.
So we get "tenure" as the red herring and we get for-profit hospital systems sending nurses home at 3:30am in the middle of their shifts, calling it down-staffing.

20. It was about 14 years ago, our district went on strike. It lasted three days.

 

Newspaper ads were placed offering $300. per day for certified strike breakers. They figured the teachers would back down after about a week.

A couple of strike leaders ended up in jail. The strike ended when the students began throwing computers and stuff out the school windows.

The union was fined $200k. The judge agreed that the fine would be collected but used as a scholarship fund for the district graduates.

We got substantial raises.

Now, imagine the entirety of teachers in a state going on strike.

I would launch myself at him periodically if i were married to him so, maybe thats why she's a hater now. All that rage held inside, wanting to knee cap him all day everyday. Settling instead for making the lives of Teachers and Students miserable. Poor Campbell Brown.

We need to get some made up for Cruz. The press sucked in 04 too. I felt like it was useless once the Swift boat crap started. The press was complicit. I get my news from the internet exclusively now. No more bullshitting me. I've had enough.

Looking forward i see hope. Millennials are not right wing thankfully, i think we may b pulling the nation left as we age. Bushco ruined it for us.
