...overhear some right-wing assholes knock public school teachers,
ask them if they would have been as brave as Victoria Soto, a
27-year-old first grade teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Ms. Soto sacrificed herself during the shootings to protect her
students, by throwing her body in front of the young children.

Other school employee heroines include principal Dawn Hochsprung and
psychologist Mary Sherlock, who, when the shooting started, ran into the
hallway to confront the danger ? and were murdered execution-style as a
result.

Having been a public school teacher for 12 years, before retiring and taking up subbing, I can say
that the teachers who receive the 'knocking' are those who can't or won't teach. They are protected,
in many cases, by unions who could care less about the kids.

I've never heard a rightie, or leftie for that matter, impugn the 'courage' of public school
teachers. Maybe you could provide a link or two showing where that has occurred?

Or are you full of ****?

Go pay your taxes, Krause.

When you were teaching, because of your hatred for unions, did you tell
them you didn't want their benefits and to lower your pay to what it
would be in a right to work market?

Our unions were very weak. It's against the law to strike here. Our pay, benefits, etc, was
determined by the school board - not the union. The unions would, however, try to take credit after
the fact. It was humorous to watch the unions argue with each other over which did the teachers the
most good.

Liberals tend to believe that ****.
