Here's a better idea: get rid of tenure entirely.

I've heard of teachers that are so incompetent that they have their students grade their own papers and file their own report cards. Incompetent and those with agendas need to be fired.

And while we're at it, let's get rid of the NEA and the teachers' unions.

"Here's a better idea: get rid of tenure entirely"

I don't know if you read the article but it's not "tenure" that is the issue here, it's called "permanent status" and it's not the same thing. The main thing that needs to be eliminated in this debate is people who spout off and have no idea what they are talking about. Unfortunately, most of these people seem to be siding with the governor.

The teachers unions are enemy #1 to education in this country. The more the unions take, the less education the students get. They are an arm of the democrat party that wants to turn out little socialist fascists, that will keep democrats in power in perpetuity.
