SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

Simply Irresistible

In a previous post Malkin admitted an addiction to poking fun at teachers’ unions.  I hate to feed her habit, but I couldn’t resist.

This one is from Mike Antonucci’s Intercepts:

“The New York City tabloids are having a field day with the tale of Jim Callaghan, who until yesterday worked for the United Federation of Teachers. After 13 years with the union, Callaghan was summarily dismissed and escorted from the building by police for what the UFT claims were ‘serious behavior issues.’

“Callaghan claims he was fired for trying to form a staff union.”

 According to the New York Post: “‘I told him I want to have the same rights that teachers have,’ said Callaghan, 63, of Staten Island. ‘He told me he didn’t want that, that he wanted to be able to fire whoever he wanted to.’

“The UFT has long strenuously resisted city efforts to make it easier for school administrators to fire teachers.”

OK for some…
