Another Reason To Get Rid Pubic Employee Unions: Porn Surfing Teachers

From The Wisconsin State Journal: The Middleton-Cross Plains School Board has spent about $300,000 in the last year fighting a grievance filed on behalf of a teacher fired after an investigation found he viewed pornography at school.
Andrew Harris, a former seventh-grade science teacher at Glacier Creek Middle School, along with seven high school staff members and one administrator, were investigated and disciplined after the district discovered porn and other inappropriate adult content, including nudity and sexual jokes, in their email system during the fall of 2009...
Union leaders say the case isn’t about teachers viewing porn on a school computer — an action they agree is wrong. Rather, they argue the discipline for Harris and the others was unjust and not based on clear standards or objective criteria.
A union lawyer, Willie Haus, also alleges the district went after Harris because he was a union leader who had criticized the School Board.
Superintendent Don Johnson said district policy prohibits the “deliberate accessing or transmitting materials that are obscene, sexually explicit or child pornography.” It cited that language and other district policies regarding electronic communication when making its disciplinary decisions, he said.
Also at stake is the district’s still unsettled teachers’ contract, and both parties say those negotiations have been marred by the ongoing grievance case.
The grievance calls for reinstating Harris and reversing other disciplinary actions taken by the School Board, including back pay for teachers who served suspensions. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/local_schools/article_9b9fbb66-84d2-11e0-8d19-001cc4c03286.html
The first question is why didn't the school district have filters on their computers- for teachers and students.
But the union is just pathetic by asking that the teacher be reinstated. He, along with anyone else watching porn in school should have been fired, no questions asked.
Gov. Scott Walker was right, get rid of work rules involving public employees.
