A Michigan teacher's union goes to great lengths to insure their hiring practices are... tolerantly diverse... though... not really:
Apparently, no one at the Ferndale Public School District in Michigan took a civics course or bothered to read their own state constitution — and neither did the union representing teachers in the district. Michigan Capitol Confidential found an interesting, and totally unconstitutional, clause in the contract between the district and the Michigan Education Association local that requires the district to
provide “special consideration” to “those of the non-Christian faith” in hiring decisions:
The contract ran from 2011 to 2012 but was extended to 2017. The teachers belong to the Ferndale Education Association, a division of theMichigan Education Association.
Regarding promotion to a vacant position, it states on page 22:
Should there be two (2) or more of these applicants with equal qualifications for the position and one (1) or more of these applicants with equal qualifications is a current employee, the current employee with the greatest seniority shall be assigned. Special consideration shall be given to women and/or minority defined as: Native American, Asian American, Latino, African American and those of the non-Christian faith. However, in all appointments to vacant positions, the Board’s decision shall be final.
Earlier in the contract is a “no discrimination clause” that states no employee can be discriminated against based on their religion.
Just to make sure readers see the offending clause, MCC screen-capped it.
You must read the rest, particularly if you think this is bad. It actually gets worse.
Hostility against Christians reaches new heights... or lows... depending on your perspective.
Carry on.
