RAPE, PILLAGE & PLUNDER

Okay, a clear case of "editorializing to heighten emotion"...

My original headline choice was "Cheaper By the Dozen", but it lacked "umph" and was factually inaccurate.


Before I go further, I guess it only proper to explain where this post is going.

Here's a visual...



Talk about overkill...

These two join at least a half-dozen other members of the law firm of Robbins, Schwartz, Nicholas Lifton & Taylor, LTD...the firm representing Cairo School District Number One in its "rape" of James Gibson...the firm hired to "pillage and plunder" the educational resources of Cairo School District Number One.

Yes, the District that has no money for employees and kids has tons of funds for lawyers!

My rejection of "Cheaper By the Dozen"...


In two weeks, "Step Two" is scheduled to occur - October 27th, 28th, and 29th - a hearing by the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board over the five unfair labor practices filed by the Cairo Association of Teachers and James Gibson against Cairo School District Number One concerning James' employment and the termination of his services during the 2005-06 school year. ("Step One" was the arbitration held in June 2007. "Step Three" will be the federal lawsuit, probably in 2011. Ahhh...the wheels of justice!)

James and his ONE attorney will be present.


Hey, have you heard to latest lawyer joke?

It begins like this...

"How many lawyers does it take to drain a district dry?"

The "punch line"?

Sorry...you will have to "stay tuned"!

Robbins et al and Cairo School District aren't done yet...
