Can't win with male teachers, but you can't win without them. Sad sad sad.
Anecdotes are not data, but almost every teacher, including my wife, who taught in a low-income school district got out as fast as they could. Just heard a story first hand over BBQ last week were a current teacher, who is also an MMA competitor, amateur boxer and former DIII basketball player left the Minneapolis School District because of the lawlessness and feared for his safety.
He was EXACTY the type of role model and teacher that the school community should embraced and support.
Think that one through for a minute. A male who knows how to handle himself was scared to teach in inner-city Minneapolis.
Obviously a racist, right?

The teacher's unions have the answers, just ask them.

"The more people I kill the better" is Rebel's motto.
The people that did this, especially the mob that attacked the fleeing couple in Philly, deserve a bullet in the ass.
