Police arrested a 56-year-old elementary school teacher Friday afternoon for allegedly fondling at least five girls under the age of 10 during classes.

Kenneth Anderson, 56, of Vacaville, a teacher at Callison Elementary School, was arrested at his home, said Sgt. Charlie Spruill, on 15 counts of committing lewd and lascivious acts on a minor. Spruill did not know what grade Anderson teaches, but the school's Web site lists him as a fourth-grade teacher.

Anderson, who has been with the district 18 years, allegedly fondled the girls either on top of or underneath their clothing "on what we would term intimate parts of the body,''

It's the unions. Make teachers "at will" employees like most of the rest of us and behavior will improve. Introduction of union representation brings in a burdensome system of "due process" that makes it difficult and expensive to release an undesirable employee so the employer instead creates "make work" positions for them to, at best, keep them away from problem areas. In the public sector, where the usual demands for financial performance do not exist, this is about all that ever happens. You don't often see a union represented public employee terminated for criminal conduct unless there is a conviction. Even then, the pension is usually a contractual entitlement that can not ever be taken away for any reason.

That the liberals outnumber people in CA could happen in any ones state.

I'll vouch for that. But you know it wouldn't take very many good California conservatives moving to a smaller blue state like (ahem) Oregon to seriously upset the balance. The leftists wouldn't even know it happened till it was too late.

Just a bit of food for thought.

The way I figger it measure 37 has boosted the buildable land inventory enough to maintain the present level of affordability for the desired amount of influx. We only need about 20,000 to make this a guaranteed red state, and about that many more to make Lane and Multnomah counties red all by themselves.

And for thinking of this idea, I'd like the first 1000 to move into Bonny Bettman's (she's baaack) city council ward. If they really like to shop at Whole Foods so much the better. Well maybe a couple hundred out here on the west side to make sure Jennifer Solomon gets reelected.
