Is it not wrong for all the bloated government schools to grant tenure to it's government employees?

If you want to propose that publicly funded schools should not grant tenure, I could be persuaded. My objection to your post was merely your claim that "tenure [is] a fraud, that could only exist in government or government schools". This is demonstrably false. As I, and others, have said, private universities have always had tenure. Tenure is therefore a beast of academia, not a beast of government. It is an academic tradition, for good or ill, that has existed whether or not the funding has been government in origin.

I could care less if private companies or private schools have tenure. They do not confiscate my money to operate.

Once again, do you think it is right for government schools that we are supporting with out taxes, to grant tenure to government teachers, which essentially gives them a jobs for life if they desire? You think this is OK?

No it is not.

I told you, this kind of fraud could only exist in government and I was right, given the fact that tax payers money is used to support government teachers that are given jobs for life, or tenure.

This does not happen in private schools. This is not a difficult concept to understand.
