No on Proposition 74

This, along with Proposition 75 is simply another wingnut attempt to punish union workers for their support of progressive politics.

Under the guise of improving teacher qualifications it basically takes the hiring/tenure/firing decisions away from the local school boards best qualified to make such decisions, and puts it in the hands of yet another state-wide bureaucracy.

At a time when hiring and retaining qualified teachers is difficult enough given California's budget restraints, does it make sense to make teacher retention even more difficult?

Sure it does, if you're against public education, which, at its heart, is what prop 74's backers are.
