I know this may not seem like it is news worthy however I've been following this case for a while and the resulting lawsuit discovery is going to be MASSIVE.
The PPS basically targeted this guy because he refused to do a lot of the bullshit equity crap they require. He was the most popular and well liked teacher at this school so he saw himself as untouchable, and the PPS responded by essentially fucking him over from every angle they could.
Unfortunately they had no cause, so now that they've gone through with the firing he's planning to hit them hard back, no settlement.
Student walkouts and televised hearings have kept the issue on the minds of many in the Portland school community. Most staff termination decisions are handled behind closed doors, but Chu requested his case be held publicly.
“Whatever happens to me is inconsequential, ‘cause I win either way,” Chu told OPB before the meeting. “If they fire me, when we go into arbitration … we can subpoena folks. (If) they don’t fire me, then there’s a whole big mess they’ve got to clean up.
“They’re the ones on trial,” he said, “not me.”
I guarantee if you keep up with this story you'll get to see some of the truly horrific things they are demanding teachers do be exposed, as well as their internal communications about how to handle 'problematic' teachers.
Finally there's a teacher with some fucking balls.
