SHWANG! I hadn't even gotten there. I know in CA, the UC's with their ACLU buddies and their multi-cultie buddies have two years past written (and authorized) their own version of some type of teacher protection "act". Meaning, it pretty much exempts "teachers" from penalties due saying whatever they want in classes subsidized by state and fed funds. I don't know which would have precedence: McCain-Feingold or the Teacher's Unions..
SHWANG!
ROFLMBO!!
See now, when it comes to unions, while they once ruled the day, may find themselves with a whole'nuther curriculum to *teach* under a police state monitoring EVERY WORD. When the government want's to control discussion TO THIS DEGREE, like they used to say in the phone business.... you can have any color of phone you want, as long as it's black. :)
