Waterford.bmpOne of the problems with public sector unionism is its expensive protection of its members at the expense of the taxpayer. One Michigan school district found one of its unionized teachers to be a possible danger to his students and had to pay $100,000 in settlement money just to get him out of the classroom.

The Waterford School District had a problem with one teacher's "anger management" issues and had concerns about the instructor possibly losing control to the point where there would be a concern about the safety of students, a school official said. There is more about this incident in the Michigan Capitol Confidential.
