Catholic teachers group gives Burke all F's

The Association of Catholic Elementary Educators issued a "report card" Saturday for Archbishop Raymond Burke, giving him all F's in nine categories on his performance on labor and social justice issues.
Mary Chubb, president of the association, said Burke has been unwilling to meet with her or recognize her group's decade-long effort to achieve recognition of the union and collective bargaining for teachers.

"We're really concerned because schools are closing and there is no set formula for rehiring or placing teachers who lost their jobs," Chubb said. "It's an anything-goes situation."
There's no formula for rehiring? Or for placement of those who have lost jobs? Maybe there's somrthing to this....maybe because of the widespread use of contraception and the corresponding decline in the birthrate, fewer teachers are needed, particularly ones who refuse to accept the decision of the Archdiocese and promote dissension among other unions toward the Church.

This coupled with the fact that those Catholics who have not succumbed to the "culture of death" by practicing contraception have larger families and may even home-school, might lessen the demand for these teachers.

I wonder what kind of grade these teachers would receive if they were to be judged on the results they produce?
