Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu on June 10 banned teacher tenure in California on the grounds that it violated the Brown v Board of Education decision that education “is a right which must be available to all on equal terms.”
The case was Vergara v California.
School officials in Los Angeles were shipping incompetent teachers with tenure to minority schools depriving them of their equal rights, Judge Treu found.
So tenure is racist. It works for us. It certainly is bad policy to be prohibited from removing poor performers from jobs that impact children.
What works even better for us is to give parents the power to fire their child’s teacher just like they would his pediatrician. Just like they would an electrician or plumber with whom they were dissatisfied.
School vouchers allow this and this is why the lazy and incompetent fight them so hard as it would end their ability to milk the system.

Tenure Found Racist
School vouchers that’s the ticket
Roger Carl. And besides school vouchers thse solons might even get around to privatizing the State booze emporiums.
Term limits would cure most of the problems.
Do you suppose our entrenced politicians are influenced by money? Ha! No, of course not,
I wish the Tea Party would field a whole slate. I’d pull that lever.
