You're a veteran teacher of twenty-eight years. You get permission from your principal to take eighty-nine fifth graders on a field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. Some kid sees a nude statue. Well, duh, it is an art museum, that should be no biggie, right?

No.

When the kid gets home and talks about it to the parents they complain. So what does the principal do? The same principal that approved the trip. Does he stand up for his staff. Does he even stand up for himself? After all he authorized the trip. No. He fires the teacher!

I'm sorry if this has been blogged already. I'm mad and I want to blog it.

Read it for yourself here.

There is nothing quite like the experience of working in a "right to work" state. If this doesn't comvince you of the need for unions, well I sure can't help you.

If I was Dick Cheney, I would be angry enough after reading this story to shoot someone in the face. They sure got themselves some kinda principals in Texas. Your thoughts?
