"Sick" WI teachers getting Doctor notes at protest saying they were sick...

[macquire]

Can unions & teachers sink any lower?

“head to hot!”
Spell Czech is knot yore friend!

“It is fraud, but it isn't unexpected. Union members often have access to a doctor that can get them a work excuse whenever they ask for one.

Bottom line is, any teacher that claims sickness but is shown on video to have been at the protest should be, at a minimum, docked for the pay for the days that they massed. And, if they fraudulently claim sickness with an excuse but were spotted at the protest, they should be fired for committing fraud.

People like that shouldn't be around children anyway - they don't understand the difference between right and wrong, and therefore cannot be expected to be able to teach children.”

AMEN! From a retired teacher of 43 years of teaching. One of the happiest days for me will be when the NEA and the Federal Department of Education are no longer with us! The other happiest day will be when I will be able to say that President Allen West is my President and Commander In Chief of our wonderful military!

Fraud. Sick pay is a problem for both parties. Conspiracy to commit fraud ?

 I'd say there is a crime being committed at some level.

The yfrog image is not copied from the one on this thread. The photobucket image is 52 kilobytes & 640X480 pixels. The yfrog one is 180 kilobytes and 768X1024 kilobytes, and does not appear to have been upsized, as the point of focus is the woman in the foreground with the heart on her cheek. There's more detail in the area where the sun strikes her cap in the yfrog image and the smaller image shows more artifacting when they are zoomed to the same size. This means if one source copied the other, the photobucket photo was probably copied from the larger yfrog image. However, the camera EXIF has been stripped from both images.

I'm not finding the photo on Google search, but searching photos is tougher than searching text. It doesn't appear photoshopped to me, but scaling for the web introduces it's own artifacts and hides photoshopping. The signs clearly put the location as the current demonstration, and makes it far less likely this is an old demonstration photo being passed off as a new one.

My gut tells me it's legit, but I'd still like to get info on who took it, or at least a camera EXIF to prove it hasn't been shopped.

This does not make sense. Right out in the open? This thread should be verified by the poster. I would like to see more proof or, where is the original poster hiding?

[mrsmith]

Shouldn’t many need a note anyway- it’s Saturday!

Here’s hoping they have another Wellstone Memorial overreach.

I think if any part of it was altered, it’d be the sign, but given that there’s also a “cheesehead nurses” sign close by, there’s probably a group of health care providers that came together.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Sheesh! I just put on a pot of coffee, cause I ain’t up to speed!
“head too hot!”

[Richard Kimball]

Yeah, I was looking through the yfrog album, and apparently Propaganda Planet is some kind of bar. They’re backing the protesters, so it wouldn’t make any sense for them to falsify evidence of a crime. They’re either too stupid to know these doctors were committing crimes or are so brazen to think no one will prosecute. I don’t think the people from Planet Propaganda thought of this as being anything more than a “stick it to the man!” moment.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

If the resolution is high enough, ya just might be able to read the names on her pads!

[bunster]

LOL
I got it — even it no one else did. ha

[Richard Kimball]

No go on reading the names on the pad. Think she may have been identified as a Wisconsin doctor. If she is the one we think, it might not be a bad idea for a Wisconsin Freeper to issue a challenge with the state board there.

[macquire]

Sorry, I was out. I found it at DU.

Now it looks like they yanked the thread, probably after they discovered I had cross posted it here and they realized it could be evidence of a crime by a doctor or someone impersonating a doctor.

[AZFolks]

Right on! I entered Medical School in 1964. I gave up my license so I would never need to write a prescription for a person I did not know medically. These “so called doctors” deserve jail time

[mewzilla]

Since I’ve yet to meet a physician in private practice who supports Obamacare or is a member of a union, I wonder if the medical professionals committing fraud could be part of a county or state health department?

[macquire]

Hiding? I was out. I don’t sit here 24/7. As I posted just a bit ago I found it trolling over at DU. They were very proud of what these “doctors” were doing.....

Looks like they yanked the thread over there now. Probably when they saw it posted here.

[Nickname]

Could be. Or an abortionist who stands to lose funding.

[Raebie]

It’s still there.

[macquire]

Found it at DU this AM. THEY WERE BRAGGING HOW THE DOCS WERE WITH THE UNION. Looks like they may have deleted the thread. I should have posted the link but I was in a rush to post and get out of the house on an errand.

[Girlene]

Found this thread with photo at Democrat Underground. Group of doctors here signing notes for absent teachers- this is what solidarity looks like Peacenikki posted that thread.
