WI TEACHER WATCHES PORN ON SCHOOL COMPUTER DURING CLASS TIME, GETS $200,000 FOR HIS TIME

MIDDLETON/CROSS PLAINS WI SCHOOL DISTRICT

THIS IS A TRUE STORY, AS OUTRAGEOUS AS IT IS!

Middle School Science teacher Andrew Harris views pornography on a school computer during class time, forwards the porn on to female teachers, gets fired, the teachers' union comes to his defense, four years later he gets reinstated and gets rich to the tune of $200,000.  He's now back in the classroom teaching middle school students in the same school district.  
Cost to the district?  Over a million dollars in legal fees, plus $200,000.

I wondered why the Middleton/Cross Plains teachers' union still had enough power to force (through a lawsuit) the district to pay a pervert $200,000 and reinstate his MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHING job. This explains it. MCP school board/district didn't take advantage of Wisconsin's ACT 10 to de-power the teachers' union. They entered into a contract containing most of the same powers available to the union prior to ACT 10. The School Board has no one to blame but themselves. If they had adopted the ACT 10 provisions they likely would not be in this stew. There were 6-7 teachers involved in this porn situation. Every single one of them should have been fired. Instead, union reps stepped in to save the day for them. What's a parent to do? Allow your middle school kids to be in a classroom with a pervert, porn-watching male teacher? And what about the other teachers involved in this? Do the parents know who they are so they can keep their kids away from them too? Short of home schooling there is no way to keep your kids away from these teachers,
thanks to the Union, the Middleton/Cross Plaines School Board and Administration.

A simple way to get rid of Andrew Harris is for the WI Department of Public Instruction to
yank his teaching certificate.

They were asked two years ago to do this.

SO FAR, THE WI DPI HAS FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE REQUEST.

GUTLESSS!!

WALKER WINS WISCONSIN RECALL ELECTION

See the Title?  Walker Wins Wisconsin Recall Election.  I am practicing up, saying it over and over and over, getting ready. 
And here's the latest good news.  Monroe WI School District saved over $800,000 on the renewal of their insurance/dental plans for the District employees.  The savings from Gov. Walker’s Act 10 keep on growing.    We are lucky to have him in Wisconsin!  He did what he said he’d do and what we elected him to do:  balance the budget, reduce the deficit significantly, put a lid on property tax increases, give schools and municipalities more control over their budgets, bring some sort of reason and sensibility to dealing with government worker unions.  He did it all, and in the process revamped collective bargaining. 

The result?  Gov. Walker’s reforms are saving municipalities and school districts millions of dollars enabling them to limit job layoffs.  The State of WI now has a surplus.  We are out of the red and well into the black.  Not many other states have a governor willing to make such difficult decisions. 

And what did Tom Barrett, Gov. Walker’s opponent do?  Barrett attacked Walker’s proposals to reform collective bargaining, but then Barrett used some of Act 10’s provisions to help reduce Milwaukee’s health care bill.  Barrett stated that the alternative was to cut 300 to 400 jobs.  And now when asked what Barrett’s “plan” is if he beats Walker in the recall election, Barrett and the Democrats have been unable to tell us.  That’s because they have no plan.  They just want Walker gone because he dared to challenge the unions.  If they regain power we will promptly reverse course, go back to restrictive collective bargaining, and financially be back in the red. 

Folks, the stakes in Wisconsin’s Ridiculous Recall Rant are higher than any state election ever.  Public employee unions understand that the legitimacy of collective bargaining is now in question as states, municipal governments and school districts struggle with the burden of a costly public sector, including pensions and retiree health care costs.  They understand that the Gimme Gimme Well is drying up. 

The Recall election date is June 5.  Every Walker supporter must goWalker. I am proud that you belong to Wisconsin. I hope you win in a landslide. to the polls and vote.  It is not enough to stay home and be happy that it’s over, though we all are relieved that Walker will finally be able to put this joke of an election behind him and get on with the business of governing Wisconsin.  We must send a powerful signal to other reform-minded governors and to the whole country that we cannot afford to go back to business as usual.  Wisconsin is righting its ship.  We can't afford higher taxes, runaway spending and even fewer jobs.  Thank you Governor Scott
