My E-mail battle with the Salem Superintendant of Schools

[mburbank]

Yeah, my wife said the same thing. I plan to.

He's transferring two of our best teachers out of the school, basically to punish them for speaking up and to cow the other teachers.

he claims the Ed Reform act means that he's legally forbidden from discussing his decision or explaining the reasoning behind it, AND he's retiring in about a month. So really my screwing around with him was just so I could get written evidence of how loony he is, so that I can start working on the incoming Superintendent to undo this one's decisions.

I'm at home today so I can't post any of the stuff he wrote, but he's like aa supervillian. he said, and I swear to God I'm not making this up, "To question me is folly."
