Oh please...so the only stupid and/or corrupt people in the private sector are involved in unions? Hmm...I wonder what the local is for all those financial-sector CEOs...

They tend not to last as long in the private sector. Unless of course, there a union involved. At whch point you'd have hell to pay, getting rid of them.

A stupid / corrupt government worker?

Yes, of course...because certainly no stupid and/or corrupt individuals work in the private sector...

It's an increasing problem in the public sector where credentials equal higher pay. From cops to school administrators diploma mills fill the bill to higher levels of compensation. The problem is they are neither truly educated or better at their jobs.

I would submit that someone who spent that many years obtaining degrees from a college of education claiming that they don’t understand that a certificate program isn’t a doctorate is either too stupid or too corrupt to be a high school principal.

A stupid / corrupt government worker?
Gee. Never saw THAT one coming. I'd better be careful though. They have unions, ya know.

Sadly this is not uncommon. I know of similar cases in my once and future home of Huntsville, Alabama. I'm glad to see them getting more press, though.
