Teacher Fired for Watching Porn at School Gets Job Back Thanks to Union

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

A teacher in Wisconsin who was caught looking at pornography has been given his job back thanks to the teachers union.

Andrew Harris, a school teacher at the Glacier Creek Middle School, was fired for looking at porn on school grounds and trading it with others. The local teachers union was able to get Harris reinstated with $200,000 dollars in back pay. The union spent about $700,000 dollars on legal fees paid for by the taxpayer.

Kirsten Powers shocked O’Reilly when she defended the teacher and said he was unfairly singled out. “I think people can be punished something short of being fired for the rest of their lives.”

Kate Obenshein was taken aback by Powers’ reaction. “Go find a job where your moral character and looking at porn is not detrimental to kids, Kirsten. But the million bucks, doesn’t that bother you at all that the teachers unions are so concerned about this guy who was looking at porn during the school day?!”

“He never should have been fired in the first place!” Powers responded.

i wonder how far that reasoning would fly in the corporate world.

Teacher Unions are known for some far-out shite, this century and the last.

A long way. I've seen people f c u k up in major ways multiple times and still get a decent financial settlement after getting fired for it. Happens every day in America. In non-union shops no less.
