Thank your local teachers’ union.

I’ve mentioned before that I think unions have by and large outlived their usefulness in the U.S. Teachers’ unions are definitely on that list.

In Los Angeles right now they are paying “teachers” approximately $10 million dollars a year NOT to teach. That’s right, they are being paid NOT to teach. These people are “housed” for different reasons including, “sexual contact with students, harassment, theft or drug possession.” But they still get a paycheck while their cases are under review. Some reviews take months; some take years. Union rules.

Isn’t it great to see your tax dollars at work!
