Plaintiff Blues

Welcome to the Plaintiff Blues Blog. I spent 34 years in public education as a teacher and administrator. I spent 15 of those years as a plaintiff in two federal lawsuits due to job discrimination and retaliation. I wrote Plaintiff Blues to describe those experiences, to encourage others to stand up - but with eyes wide open! My posts explore common sense in public education, social justice, civil rights, civil liberties, and other constitutional issues. Check out www.plaintiffblues.com.

Stewart Restores Sanity - AGAIN!

Following the tragic events in Tucson, Arizona this past weekend, the airwaves were filled with all kinds of agonized hand-ringing and polarized finger-pointing - culminating in the all encompassing idiocy, "we're all to blame." The most sincere, sane expression of the horror and confusion we all felt, without any of the nonsense, came from Jon Stewart in his opening monologue on the Daily Show, Monday, January 10, 2011. "We can't outsmart crazy." How ironic, that it takes a comedian on a fake news show to get it right!
