Can a lawsuit by nine students topple teacher tenure?
PBS NewsHour ^ | March 29, 2014 at 12:00 AM EDT | MEGAN THOMPSON

The nine student plaintiffs in the case – known as Vergara v. California - are challenging two main areas of state law: permanent employment and dismissal statutes the plaintiffs say make it difficult to get rid of bad teachers, and the seniority-based layoff system, which they say makes it hard to keep good, less-senior teachers during difficult times.

And doubly so since the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned California’s CCW law (and in so doing did the same thing to Hawaii’s)

RE 9th:

That’s a HUGE slap in the face to the left... that’s “their” court...

Sounds like a prof who needs serious re-training. I’ll bet his house is flamable?

I had an upper level econ teacher who couldn’t draw a supply and demand curve. Looked to me to be waaaaaaay past his prime. I reported it - crickets . . .

“I reported it - crickets . . .”

In my experience schools will not only cover up astonishing incompetence, but criminal behavior. USF knew they had a professor supporting terrorists. He talked about it constantly. They also had, while I was there, at least two professors boinking students in their offices. (Later, they were fired when it got to the papers.) You’d think they’d be concerned with the school’s reputation, but apparently nothing is more important than tenure.

Now we in the “populous counties are being treated to the next CCW ruse. “Yes, we will accept your application for a CCW permit, but owing to our limited resources, you can expect to wait for a year and a half for us to get around to processing it.” Time for another lawsuit to force these Commie sheriff’s to do their jobs. Some are actually complying, but most have decided that “they still know better than the courts” about citizens ability to carry a gun. Still, one small step at a time, we are winning. And we can “thank” Leland Yee for “helping our cause.”

“...ime for another lawsuit to force these Commie sheriff’s to do their jobs. Some are actually complying,...”

Seems to me that the best approach is - work with those that ARE complying, join with Sheriffs that are already on our side of things (there are many across the country), and work diligently - make it your life’s MISSION - to replace those who can’t or WON’T do their jobs because they’re worthless democrat political hacks.

“...Still, one small step at a time, we are winning...”
Yes, we are indeed. Might not seem like it, but someone posted a graphic out here last year showing a map of states from 1987 onwards that adopted CCW. The trend is decidedly on our side.

I think there’s only 7 states left that deny carry.

Agreed, but the real issue is that the preponderance of voters in those counties “seem to like” the idea of gun control. What passes for a “sheriff” in our county is some idiot who was a beat cop in city outside the county who came in when our last sheriff died (which was a good thing in and of itself) and BSed his way into office. He doesn’t have the mental acuity to take a bent dime out of a Coke machine, but there he is, nonetheless!
