Judge strikes down California teacher tenure

[Michchamp]

It sounds like they based their decision on the fact that tenure doesn't discriminate against certain groups of students (poor & minorities).

?Plaintiffs failed to show that the statutes themselves make any certain group of students more likely to be taught by ineffective teachers than any other group of students,? Division Two Presiding Justice Roger W. Boren wrote. ?The court?s job is merely to determine whether the statutes are constitutional, not if they are ?a good idea.??

This quote above implies that they may agree that the tenure isn't a good practice but the plaintiffs couldn't prove they were discriminated against.

no it doesn't.

judges aren't supposed to use a ruling as an opporunity to opine on politics or issues tangent to the case. all he is doing is clarifying the scope of his ruling for the Republitards out there he knows will call the panel "activist judges" because of the outcome.

it's like an umpire saying "i don't know if it was or was not smart to walk him, all I'm saying is that was ball four."

I'm just quoting your judge

Quote could be read either way. Saying it's not my call to judge the goodness of an idea can either be limiting the scope of the decision, explaining why certain arguments were ignored due to thoroughness, or explaining why certain arguments were ignored even though they were good arguments.

Bump! TAKE YOUR MEDICINE, BITCH!

So a three judge panel of the CA court of appeals unanimously overturned Judge Treu's weak-ass, poorly reasoned ruling in the lower court. delivers a big win for the teacher's unions, the school districts, and students they serve.

I said this ruling sounded like bullshit (see post #42). guess they didn't really have much evidence after all to support their contentions that tenure is unconstitutional.

the plaintiffs claim they'll appeal to the CA supreme court, but they're just going to get their asses handed to them there too. fuck em.

LOL. It's not me that has to take his medicine. It's the students that are getting fucked over by this horrible policy and worse decision by 3 libtard judges that are being forced to take YOUR medicine - only it's making them more sick.
