Another Fox Lie - "Minneapolis teacher contract will lay off white teachers first....." [View all]
Faux News headline: Minneapolis teacher contract will lay off white teachers first regardless of seniority.
I just saw the Faux News headline flash across a website I was on, it seemed very off so I did a little digging. For starters I discovered that this contract was actually ratified back in June, so Faux News is digging up old tidbits to try and stir shit up.
The real facts are that Minneapolis recognizes that the population of teachers should more closely represent the demographics of their community at large, and that minority teachers are largely underrepresented. Basically all that the new contract is doing is giving minority teachers a one position seniority bump if there will be layoffs and minority teachers are underrepresented as compared to the community.
