Teachers fired???/HA.

How about that huge building in NYC that houses “suspended’ teachers and they just go there every day, hundreds of them and hang out and get their full pay..but the Educ Board can’t have them in the classroom.

why don’t you go to DU or Moveon and keep repeating the same banal things over and over and over...why bother to acknowledge change/ why bother with the facts?

Just keep posting the same post over and over and over..
this is where Freeper is NO different than the NY times or DU...Catholic Bashing with a refusal to look at the facts.

I am aware of that. If you re-read the post, I said “removed from the classroom, and fired as quickly as union rules will allow”. In the case of NY, that is a long time ... but they can only hurt taxpayers (rather than kids) while taking a government paycheck in the rubber room. Teacher’s unions are ridiculous.

Who was “catholic bashing”? Who posted the same thing multiple times? What facts?

Posting that schoolteachers are worse, or Boy Scout leaders are worse, or whatever ... is not a valid defense to child predation. “Everybody’s doing it” doesn’t really fly. Leaders of the Christian faith should be held to a higher standard than that.

The church heirarchy does have some things to answer for here. I don’t consider that “Catholic bashing”. It has nothing to do with the faith itself ... it has only to do with individual men and their individual actions. I would question why people are posting sad defensese like “but teachers and boy scout leaders hurt children, too”, thinking that somehow makes it all go away. Why does that make the situation any better?

For the record, I do not support, and have not supported, requests for the pope to resign. But, I think there should be MUCH quicker action to fire, excommunicate, and prosecute anyone caught abusing or intentionally covering up abuse.
