What it takes to fire a Colorado Public School Teacher (Jay Bennish)

LexisNexis ^ | 3/2/2006 | Colorado Revised Statute

[RobbyS]

Actually the teacher is usually just removed from the classroom and assigned to petty administrative duties until he decides to go away.

[BigFinn]

His lawyer was on the Factor tonight. (ACLU type.) They will probably end up giving him tenure and a big fat raise for this... oh better yet, how about a civil suit for millions, or maybe a book or movie rights? The possibilities are endless.

A perfect reason for homeschooling.

[Tzimisce]

Would it be easier to fire him if he was trashing Islam?

[Fred Nerks]

Unfrickenbelievable!

Jan, you gotta see this.

We homeschool here in Colorado. Anyone living in Colorado that is interested in switching to homeschooling should visit www.chec.org.

The lawyer is also Ward Churchill's lawyer.

Thanks,

There have been tons of threads going on about this topic since last evening.

Here is a link to this teacher's outburst (it's about 21 minutes long).

Unfrickenbelievable!

We had a case in Colorado about three years ago where a teacher was accused of being a peeping tom. It took over two years and cost the district around $200,000 to get rid of the guy - all based on the above statute.

You echoed my thoughts exactly. If they couldn't find a way to get rid of that creep Ward Churchill. After what he said.(I believe he's still teaching and collecting his salary of over 100,000 grand a year.) I doubt that anything will happen to this joker!

[Fred Nerks]

I'm an Aussie. I'm wondering if we have the same problem. Seems the ENEMEDIA dictates what we should be thinking, and the teacher's unions dictate what our children learn. There's gunna be a whole lot more angry people before this is over.

[the Real fifi]

It's slightly easier with high school teachers.

The same slimy lawyer who represented Ward Churchill.

[Echo Talon]

The kid should sue the school for making him listen that ca@p!
Than maybe some things would change.

This "teacher", judging from his voice and his picture, is about 23 years old. If they can't fire him for the garbage that came out of his mouth in a GEOGRAPHY class, then the system is really broken and should be scrapped.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Its because its not only the teachers who are allowed to spew their anti-america hate, but the administrators who they would ultimately answer too condone them and support them. They are all working together.

The entire US K - 12 and higher education system has been systematically overun by a liberal agenda. A big part of this is because we have unions controlling the education system.

Folks need to realize that the public school system will lead to the destruction of this country. Children are being brainwashed (around 200 children skipped class today to support the teacher and oppose his being placed on administrative leave - with pay).

Every parent that I speak to that has children in public school tells me the same mantra: "Yes, the public schools have problems - but MY school district is fantastic and great for my kids!"

Our country needs to wake up...
