661...93.1 CKCU Tomorrow At Six A.M.

It is moi on the radio with Emily O and a very serious topic.

As you may or may not know, 23 months ago a woman was sexually assaulted at Carleton while studying late at night.

This month she filed suit against alma mater contending that the school did not do enough to protect her from getting f'd up while studying.

Kimalee Phillips from the Graduate Student's Association at Carleton will be joining me tomorrow along with Julie Lalonde from the Coalition for a Carleton Sexual Assault Centre for the full hour.

If you have a daughter, sister, cousin, wife, girlfriend, mother, aunt etcetera who could be a victim please listen. And if you are a woman you must listen tomorrow morning from six to seven on 93.1CKCU.

138...Teachers and Corey Booker

When is the last time you heard of a teacher getting fired? Seriously.

Corey Booker, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, late last summer at the Democratic convention, made the point that once a teacher is hired he is never fired and that the reason is because their union is way, way, wayyyyyyyyyy too strong.

This isn't new of course. I cannot speak for you but I had at least as many bad teachers as good ones. I don't recall anyone getting their ass fired. And my high school, St. Pius X in Ottawa, had teachers that molested kids, not fired; teachers who punched kids in the head, not fired; teachers who were drunk, not fired; and on and on and on. According to HBO's Bill Maher, out of 43,000 teachers in Los Angeles last year, 11, e l e v e n, were fired. One would have to think that number would be a bit, and by a bit I mean a lot, low.
