James O’Keefe is exposing corruption that most people (such as those who commented previously) are too afraid to talk about it.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. James has stepped up. He has spoken without fear. The videos speak for themselves. You can discredit James all you want, but the fact is, the truth comes out in his videos, and in times like this we absolutely need someone to do what hes doing. Keep it up James I fully support you.

How does a teacher get demoted, but is still teaching? Doesn’t make sense. A tenured teacher either gets fired after the ridiculously lengthy process, or they get suspended with pay, similar to a cop does when under investigation. It shows how some teachers are nuts when liquored up in a bar or convention, that’s all this shows.
Revamping the tenure process is definitely something that needs to be done, not just because of extreme examples like this, but also because of the teachers that are no longer effective.

This is about what I’ve come to expect from O’Keefe — “SHOCK VIDEO” that really isn’t all that shocking.

And, of course, antics better left to college frat boys

I agree that O’Keefe isn’t someone to take seriously – the more I hear of him, the more I think he’s a bit of a douche. I think he’s trying to be the Michael Moore of the right, and I have to wonder if that’s really what the world needs.

Still, after watching the first video, I just have to say “eh”. Teacher’s unions don’t like the anti-union governor? SHOCK! Teachers and administrators talk smack about each other and their jobs outside the workplace? SHOCK! Unions are trying to shove things into contracts that benefit their members? SHOCK!

Come on – this is New Jersey. If there’s anything shocking in the video, it’s that New Jersey teacher union politics appear to actually be relatively tame compared to what I expected.

I’m certainly no fan of the unions, but this is pretty weak stuff IMO.

Was there a boat involved in this latest O’Keefe scheme?

Sorry, can’t take this guy seriously
