. . . . check
out this unprecedented ruling by California Superior Court Judge Rolf M. Treu
who just handed down a decree that teacher tenure laws in the state of
California are unconstitutional. That
includes all related teacher dismissal and layoff laws.
This near-apocalyptic smack down makes
anything that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has done up to this point in
his own efforts at teacher reform in The Garden State pale in comparison.
Treu's decision
is not targeted merely towards several jurisdictions in California, but applies
to each and every public school district throughout The Golden State – it could
have implications nationwide.
This ruling was applauded by none other than the Obama administration’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who was reported by CNN to have said, “the decision represented ‘a mandate’ to fix a broken teaching system.
