Rant of the Day

Check out the three four arrest stories below.

Maybe it is nostalgia, but remember when an arrest was sufficient grounds to fire a teacher because even being arrested was a character issue?

Now it's endless court rounds, paid vacation for the teacher in the form of paid administrative leave - thank you, taxpayer - while a teachers union-supplied lawyer fights the application of the law, followed by a ridiculously low sentence if the court finds the teacher guilty.

Even then the teacher can't be fired because drugs and alcohol are addictive which makes the teacher disabled. So, following drug or alcohol therapy (and under the Americans with Disabilities Act, you can get paid while in therapy - thank you, U.S. taxpayers) they are allowed to continue to teach.

Fine lesson for children. Because it doesn't matter what lessons you instill in a child in the home. They find life lessons in school.
