Kids: Want job security? Be a pervert and join the NYC teachers’ union

Last week the NY Post reported on the typing teacher (and lawyer and real estate man) who’s been sitting in the union”rubber room” for almost a decade collecting his $100,000 salary after being removed from the classroom for molesting young girls. The paper’s back today with another “teacher” who impregnated a 16-year old student in 1978, abused more girls in 1988, and again in 2002 before, finally, being sent to the rubber room. He’s getting paid $94,000 a year (plus benefits and  a retirement pension) because again, he can’t be fired. I wonder how young, competent teachers who are being laid off by the city because of budget cuts feel about their union protecting these guys? I can guess how tax payers feel.
