Stop playing. From the daily parade of molesters, to the abuse ladled out on Ann Althouse 's blog, so-called "educators" are now allowed to fuck the public and go their own way without serious penalty:
“What you did was a jab in the eye with a sharp stick to every parent who trusts a teacher.”
One more time, bloggers:
Change the word "parent" to "citizen" and you can apply that quote to Glenn Reynolds' still linking to Althouse for her feminist views after her attack on readers for same. There's been no accountability. She publicly screwed up and then sailed away.
Ponder the fact Ann voted for Obama - who Reynolds violently opposes - and then ask yourself:
If Althouse was black, and repeatedly behaved the way she has, would she be linked by Reynolds?
Hasn't TMR been "punished" for speaking about the very ethics and hypocrisy I see these two display? (Both Professors Reynolds and Althouse swear online so it can't be language,...) Neither Reynolds nor Althouse links here, any longer, because they know I'm outraged about that. Why a second standard between them? I ask you and them:
Between a Rapper and a tenured "professor", who should be expected to acknowledge, and be held to, a higher standard? Why aren't they? Even between each other? Is this the Society Of Homeopath's Code Of Ethics where they don't snitch? Or is Reynolds actually letting the Obama-supporting feminist he rails about daily - and who sells a lot of books for his wife - off the hook?
No matter what they think of me or my style, I am still "the public", and - like a lot of other people - I'm being taught not to trust teachers, and why is obvious:
The fact we're learning is all they appear to find important,...
"She publicly screwed up and then sailed away."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link.
It's the teachers unions. That's who is behind the outrage of a sentence and retaliation against this family. Which is why public employee sector unions like teachers should be disbanded and actually held to the same standards of conduct the rest of us are.
ReplyDeleteIt goes beyond the teacher's unions (I was a teacher -- at jr. high to college levels -- for over decade; from the nineties through to '10s; I saw what happened to the profession).
ReplyDeleteSomewhere along the way a lot of teachers/college instructors started telling themselves that relationships with students was "ok" -- the teacher/student bond, yada yada. What it was really about was a bunch of unprofessional pervs wanting to bang young meat, and getting other people over to their "side". What it was about was the slow evolution of the role of teacher from someone who teaches to ideological cult of personality; they want to be rock stars not boring, dusty, little teachers and professors, they want to be well paid, deferred to, and admired, they don't want to teach -- and again, convincing others to come over to their "side".
Getting supporters to their side was not hard -- after all, it appealed to every base, selfish instinct people have...and people are base and selfish.
Anyone who stood up to them often found themselves getting stabbed in the back, tripped up, whatever -- this was easy to do, because after a while they were outnumbered (I've seen several very good teachers who held to the standards of the profession, both very conservative, very liberal and all points inbetween, who have had their careers come acropper due to this).
And thus the teaching profession has become a cesspool, where teaching no longer occurs, a refuge for villany (and a huge amount of pedophiles, closeted and otherwise...you'd be amazed).
Are there good teachers out there still? Of course, but it's like holding down the educational equivalent of the lost brigade's last outpost.

*you right wingers are fools to think that going after the unions will solve this, or that getting rid of public schools will solve this...that isn't where the source of the problem lies
