Here’s a fascinating Behind the Headlines story about how—as we point out in IndoctriNation—teachers unions are not really in it “for the kids,” but are just doing what’s best for their members. Watch the video here: Behind the Headlines
How many second-chances would your boss give you if came to work drunk? Or high on drugs? Thought so. You’d be unemployed. Most businesses today have a zero tolerance policy.
They’re a bit more lenient on public school teachers in Bay City, Michigan. A teacher under the influence of alcohol gets a second chance. And a third. In fact, in accordance with the Bay City Education Association’s collective bargaining agreement, a teacher has to be caught five times before they can be fired.

The rules are stricter for drug use. Just barely. Teachers must be caught a third time in the unlawful use or possession of illegal drugs before they can be discharged. Even teachers caught dealing drugs in the classroom can’t be fired for the first offense.
