The entire article misses the boat. Tenure has eliminated the possibility to remove bad teachers. He hasn't suggested that teachers have no recourse to discipline. He simple means to remove what has become an obstacle to removal of even the worst of employees and frequently has allowed them to be paid while doing absolutely nothing at all. This is not the reason tenure was instituted. It has grown from a protection of good teachers from biased or corrupt administration to a cancerous elimination of the rights of administrations to effectively discipline any "tenured" teachers in their employ without regard to the employees conduct.

No other employees, government or otherwise have such protections.
