Capo Unified teachers strike, pro, con
April 22, 2010
Milton Rouse, Dana Point, The Orange County
Register The
Capistrano Unified School District board of trustees
has proved itself to be
deceptive, manipulative and anti-teacher. When other local school
districts have settled with their teachers through negotiation for
less drastic and temporary cuts, CUSD is the only school board in
the county that has unilaterally imposed drastic and permanent pay
cuts. Board members have shown the arrogance to ignore the sensible
recommendations of the neutral mediators and instead they have
unilaterally imposed the largest pay cut in the history of Orange
County educators. They have done this in order to fulfill their
goal to undermine and destroy the teachers' union...
First Amendment lawsuit
May 05, 2009
Milt Rouse, The Orange County Register
In regard to teacher Jim
Corbett being sued ["Lecture violated protection," Front Page, May
2], it is ironic that a teacher can teach the opinions of others in
literature, history or newspapers, but he cannot state his own. He
can prompt students to express their opinions for classroom debate,
but he cannot express his own or he can be sued for "offending" a
student. A student can "offend" other students and even offend the
teacher without fear of being sued. Why are some students free from
being "offended?" I guess teachers are a lesser form of
animal.
