COLORADO COVERUP HOW ELSE CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT 
OF EDUCATION RECEIVES 2,000 - 3,000 REPORTS OF ARRESTED TEACHERS EACH 
YEAR IN COLORADO, BUT DOESN'T INFORM THE SCHOOLS WHERE THE TEACHERS ARE

CONFIDENTIAL. THEY DO, HOWEVER, NOTIFY THE SCHOOL WHEN THE TEACHER IS 
CONVICTED, WHICH CAN TAKE MONTHS (OR YEARS AS WE HAVE FOUND OUT.)

ANOTHER COURT DATE FOR TAMMIE "LIBERTY" LEE REED - THE COLORADO TEACHER 
WHO WAS ARRESTED FIVE TIMES FOR

BAD HIRING DECISIONS $$$$$ TENURE NOT ONLY KEEPS INCOMPETENTS IN 
CLASSROOMS FOR DECADES, CHEATING CHILDREN OUT AN EDUCATION, IT ALSO 
COSTS TAXPAYERS MILLIONS FOR THOSE BAD HIRING DECISIONS WHEN DISTRICTS 
PAY OUT MILLIONS IN BUYOUTS. AT MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY, THEY'VE 
SPENT $700,000 ALONE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS TO BUY OUT NINE EMPLOYEES

IT'S JUST MONEY $$$$$ TAXPAYER MONEY, WHICH MAKES YOU WONDER WHY 
TAXPAYERS IN AN ARKANSAS SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD TOLERATE PLANS FOR A $6 
MILLION TAX INCREASE FOR A NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN ENROLLMENT HAS 
DROPPED TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY AREN'T REHIRING TO REPLACE FOUR 
TEACHERS? BUT IT'S THE $1.9 MILLION "ATHLETIC FACILITIES" THAT OUGHT TO 
RING SOMEONE'S BELL. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE LOW-INCOME, DOESN'T MEAN YOU 
SHOULD PAY FOR THE EDUCATION OF NON-CITIZENS, OR WHAT LOOKS LIKE 
IMPORTED STUDENTS. THE DEMOGRAPHIC JUST DOESN'T FIT.
