I can bear witness that in education, some cannot be fired, and they full well know it.

There was an investigation and we had to give testimony. The state dealt with it by mandating psychological counseling and placing her in a non instructional environment for several months. Then she was placed as the teacher of an autistic classroom in an elementary school that sat directly behind the school she had threatened. The same place where most of us who had given testimony were still working.
I transferred elsewhere to finish out my years.
I have seen things. This ‘cannot be fired’ is not healthy for a society.
You are correct. It sets a dangerous precedent for hiring any of the diverse crowd. A legal battle that can’t be won and high legal costs will make anybody who hires these types have deep regrets when those hires don’t, won’t, or (mostly) can’t, perform at a high level.
That started with the mass formation of "teachers' unions" which we did not have when I was in school (almost 60 years ago--GEESH...hard to believe that).

I’m remembering the teachers’ strike in Florida about 1967, maybe ‘68. The first thing they must have done after forming was to strike.
But of course--flexing their "corporate muscles" as it were!! IT'S NOT ABOUT EDIFYING EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS--that's for certain!
