There are some wires you must have crossed. Teachers are hard to fire, because they have to play the role of a 'respectability person' in their community of small kids, and every angered parent, and child acting out in youth are hellbent to undercut their authority. If they were easy to fire, no one would be left on the job. One exception, abusive behavior. So if they are soliciting their position of respect for anything other than teaching - they are, and should be, out within two seconds. Disciplinary hearings and everything.
The state comes down on them like a mofo.
Issue - guilt trips on childrens minds, can still be very effective - so it often takes years... Issue also, anything that even formerly had the touch of 'private education' - like every business, and like the church, btw - looks at public image first.
Thats before watching your video, which I'll do now.
But the moment you have to cull voices with 'the state isnt able to protect you from child predators' - and list unions as a cause, I more or less think that you are cray, cray.
edit:
@SG854 Just watched the clips, and as imagined, none of it is even remotely the issue you are painting.
What the clip says is, that school administrators have been caught often, drafting up confidentiality agreements, and helping the person that was caught exhibiting such a behavior, to transfer to another school district, even 'greasing the wheel', so they'd have the problem off their hands in the most easy way imaginable.
Those are individual administrative decisions, designed not to fall back onto the school administrator, that are not intended by the law, or how the next step (disciplinary commission) is supposed to look like, and they are legal, because a formal complaint is never made. Its not how this is supposed to work like - it is a loophole. And what people in the clip are morally arguing for, is to hold school administrators responsible, even if they sign clauses - that prevent them from speaking. Again, so their behavior, doesnt fall back on them later on, and they get rid of that predator easier.
How on effing earth, you can construct out of that a case, for why unions are bad, I dont know. If your mind jumps from unions straight to child predators, I'd say, that you are mainly emotionally driven, to a point, where you cant even understand news reporting anymore, because you are in such a personal perceived feeling of grief, directed at the person or the thing you have designated to be responsible for 'the evil' - that its hard to ever arguue with you over anything, where you'd not feel the need to win, because your feelings were so deep.
At one point, ideally, you'd put some of the feelings aside, and actually look at a story, or the reporting as well, and dont just get perceptually stuck at mood bgm cues, and girls drawing stickfigures of where the teacher touched them - then bringing this emotional package into any discussion at random.
Your emotions on this are right. But thats about the only thing thats right here.
edit: One correction, the report then even details one case, where the school administration did file a report, but the national schools board - because of lack of proof - banned them from teaching in state, and gave out a neutral recommendation, not stating the alleged incident.
The proper thing to do would have been to actually clear this up in a criminal investigation. And if that took place, and 'grooming' behavior couldnt be sufficiently proven - that is rotten, but what followed, still the law.
There were even attempts made on the federal level to prevent that from happening (simply allowing those teachers to work in another state), but most states havent integrated that legislation into their laws yet.
Still no unions anywhere to be seen.
) parents every year hate you, and you have to bring children to do something they dont particularly like either and that is to study and show some sort of responsibility for their behavior.
