Besides Striking Teachers in Madison, WI. They Also Have Stupid Judges

The Madison, WI. school district has been shut down by the illegal strike by teachers for 3 days now. today, the District finally decided that enough was enough and tried to go to court and order the teachers back to work from their illegal strike. Well a judge said no.

From the Wisconsin State Journal: In the lawsuit, the district characterized the work stoppage as a strike, which it said is prohibited by state law.
Sumi, however, denied the restraining order request, saying she was not convinced the district's argument would succeed as the suit moved through the legal system.
Sumi said there was not enough evidence to show the work stoppage is a strike under state law. She said the district made a more compelling argument that it has suffered irreparable harm in lost classroom time, but that also fell short. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/local_schools/article_1a2a34ce-3baf-11e0-983c-001cc4c03286.html

The judge's name is Maryann Sumi and when the good Lord passed out common sense, she missed that part. When they passed out brains, she must have gotten one from discount bin at Wal-Mart.

Let's see. There was a huge protest in Madison, with apparently 10's of thousands people showing up and acting like buffons. The state teacher's union asked the teachers to come to Madison to protest. Hundreds of teachers in Madison called in sick or said they were not coming in to work. Enough teachers did not come to work and the school district had to cancel classes for at least 3 days now. Some of the teachers probably even carried picket signs. The head of the Madison's teacher union said the teachers would return to work on Tuesday. If this was not an organized strike, how would the union president know the teachers would return to work on Tuesday?

And this is not an illegal strike? What kind of drugs are in the judge's pipe?

then the judge said there was no irreparable harm? I guess 3 days of missing school doesn't represent harm. And of course, other staff who work for the district didn't get paid those days. Special education aides, cooks and cafeteria workers, and possibly custodians and school secretaries didn't get paid because of the striking teachers. Hopefully, if the these employees didn't paid, maybe some teachers will accidentally run over some nails in the teachers parking lot and flatten a few tires.

Not to mention the harm that parents and families had to go through in finding daycare at the last minute, an extended school year, lack of education, poor role models from the teachers but they did get an education law breaking and apparently a lesson that some judges are stupid and that if you break the law, you may not get consequences.

So to "Judge" Sumi, one hopes maybe she will be able to her G.E.D.. As for common sense, I invite her to my Special Ed. class where we teach students how to use common sense. I may be able to help her. Judge Sumi makes this judge look like a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
