How is this different from blackmail? “Pay us or your kids won’t be able to go to school”.
We knew this really left wing teacher, who became a principal, then a superintendent for hire.
She would get offers from small to medium size towns in N. California to be their superintendent.
In about 3 years, she would have hired her worthless teachers/principals to basically take over these smaller school districts.
Then, before the voters and school board members woke up, she would go to another similar size school system to repeat her vision.
She did this for about 15 years after she retired here. In this time frame she had sabotaged every thug school system she had set up. Most have never recovered.
She and her husband separated during one of these takeover stints. He said that she is afraid to go to any of those cities because of what she did to their school system.
Besides hiring her worthless thug buddies, she made a ton of money getting the school systems, she controlled, to buy new text books. Setting up new text books systems is an incredibly lucrative business for everyone but the local taxpayers.
