248. I don't think you really understand what this is all about. I'm judging only by your comments

in this thread. First JDPriestly did NOT say to fire anyone, she is talking about the salaries of Administrators where they are sometimes unbelievably high while teachers salaries do not even compare.

But this is not really about just salaries, it is about the now years long Union Busting, anti-Teacher, anti-all-Public Worker policies of the Far Right, promoted and paid for by the Koch Brothers and now apparently adopted by so-called Dems like Rahm Emanuel.

Are you familiar at all with what has been going on in Chicago re the Public Schools, outside Private Charter Corporations into which Rahm has poured millions, while refusing to do anything about the overcrowded classrooms, the crumbling infrastructure, the lack of books, the closing of Libraries, in order to make the Public Schools FAIL.

He has been closing Public Schools and transferring those Public Funds to private Charter Corporations. Iow, he is anti-Union, anti-Public Schools and pro-Privatization.

Finally, today he received the support of none other than Paul Ryan.

Rahm is corporate tool and the Union is doing exactly the right thing by trying to stop the rolling train towards selling off public assets and privatizing everything, FOR PROFIT.

He and Scott Walker iow, have almost identical policies. If you don't like Walker, then you cannot like Rahm.

Edit to say, JDPriestly did recommend cutting some jobs in administration.
