C. J. Huff and the Assassination of a Teacher's Character Available as a Free Download

The transcript of my termination hearing from the Joplin R-8 School District, C. J. Huff and the Assassination of a Teacher's Character, is available as a free download for the next two days.

Those who got all of their information about my hearing from the media or never heard anything about it at all are in for quite a surprise.

Once you get past the initial shock value tactic of the administration's lawyer reading excerpts from my book No Child Left Alive, you should find it interesting to see just how C. J. Huff and his administrators were willing to go, not to get me to lose my job (that was pretty much determined before the hearing was even held), but to make sure that I would never be able to get a teaching job again.

Also, pay attention to the kind of testimony that Board President Jeff Flowers allowed the administration to present. Every time an administration member made an attack on my character, indicating I had done things that had never even been alleged, my attorney objected, and every time, without fail, Flowers noted the objection and allowed the character assassination to continue unabated.

If this were the only time that C. J. Huff and his administrative team had pulled a stunt like this, it would be bad enough, but this has been his management style since he arrived in Joplin- this is just the first time the evidence has been presented in a public hearing.
