The Empire Strikes Back: Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown Files Appeal To Force Crappy Teachers On Poor Kids California’s Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown has filed an appeal of a judge’s decision gutting the state’s laws regarding tenure and seniority protection for taxpayer-funded public school teachers. Brown’s appeal contends that a lower court ruling in June by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu fails to supply a proper legal basis and contains insufficient details, reports Fox News. More specifically, the governor’s appeal alleges that Treu dismissed school districts from the case for “unclear and unexplained” reasons. Consequently, the appeal reasons, the district court decision “applies only to parties that have no role or duties under the challenged lawsuits.” Also, the appeal argues that Treu was wrong when he initially issued his decision on a tentative basis. Treu’s 16-page tentative opinion in “Vergara v. California” cited “Brown v. Board of Education” among many other cases and concluded that strict rules limiting how teachers are hired and fired disproportionately impact the state’s poor and minority students, thereby depriving the students of their right under state law to an equal education. The opinion became final on Thursday, a day before Gov. Brown’s appeal. The case was brought by nine students, including the named plaintiff, Beatriz Vergara, through a national nonprofit organization called Students Matter. The plaintiffs successfully argued that the 6.2 million public school students in California receive grossly unequal treatment because the state’s education infrastructure routinely sends lousy teachers to schools filled with poor and minority students. [ Students Matter .... but not to Democrats. ] The ruling affects The Golden State’s tenure policy, which requires that teachers obtain tenure just 18 months into their careers. It also affects rules that make it virtually impossible to fire tenured California teachers who aren’t good at their jobs — particularly if they have seniority and have been bad for a long time. Attorneys and advocates for teachers have defended the 18-month teacher tenure scheme. Without it, they worry, bad teachers might get sacked too quickly. Also, they argue, the quick tenure system upholds academic freedom and draws talented people to the teaching profession which, they say, pays poorly. ...............
