As you know, our tenure protections have been called to question in a number of cases nationwide. The case of Vergara v. California was based on the fiction that there is a conflict between protections for teachers and education for students. This fiction is coming to New York in a case brought by television host Campbell Brown.
We know that the students and school districts benefit from having teachers who have basic due process protections. It's about keeping good teachers, not about rooting out bad ones.
It is difficult, when you are at dinner parties and holiday gatherings, to discuss tenure with people who don't understand. I encourage you to read the latest issue of NYSUT United. It will help you understand the history of tenure in New York State and how tenure for teachers benefits students.
YOU CAN'T PUT STUDENTS FIRST IF YOU PUT TEACHERS LAST.
NYSUT is working to defend our tenure protections against wrong-headed, misguided, underinformed policy makers and celebrities.
