Broken Laws

Atlanta Public School teachers who were fired after the 2009 cheating scandal have filed age discrimination charges against the school system. This has to do with the notion that employees who are age 40 are old and should receive “protected status” under the troublesome Civil Rights Act.

The Civil Rights Act should have defined “old” as age 50 or older. Given the Muslim problem, the Civil Rights Act should be repealed. Islam needs to be determined to be a foreign form of government, not a religion within the meaning of religion in the US Constitution.

The plaintiffs claim that when the new APS Superintendent was hired, many schools had been failing and that teachers were fired to attempt to fix this problem.

There are 2 groups of teachers in these public schools.  There are those who only teach for 5 years and then they quit to have kids and don’t go back, because they can’t stand it anymore.  The second group of teachers are in it for the pension plan. They want to work for 30 years and then retire at age 51 on a full pension.  These are the teachers who are filing the lawsuit.

The real problem is the pension plan itself and the early retirement provisions. Pension funding for unionized government employees is a problem that needs to be solved by going to 401k plans with a 5 year vesting program to get employer contributions.
