Stupid and powerful is a bad combo for our kids---Union victory: Porn-watching Wisconsin teacher awarded new job, backpay

Union victory: Porn-watching Wisconsin teacher awarded new job, backpay | Fox News:
"Here's what Wisconsin's legal system and its teachers unions have just taught the nation:
If you're a teacher and you get fired for looking at porn at work, you'll get your job back.
Such is the case of Andrew Harris, former seventh-grade science teacher at Glacier Creek Middle School in the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District.
The district's school board Monday voted in a special closed session to comply with an arbitrator's 60-page order that demands Harris be reinstated.
He was fired in 2010 after receiving and viewing multiple pornographic and sexually inappropriate images and videos, according to a complaint.
To add insult to the district's injury, taxpayers will have to pay Harris nearly $200,000 in back pay. In total the district will spend nearly $1 million on the case, the brunt of which went to legally defending its position that the firing was fair."
