Teachers Union Madness

Brian Doherty | February 14, 2006

Have the teachers unions "absolutely positively lost their Goddamned minds," as Ryan Sager asserts? Well, at least one of their members seems to have. From a Washington Times account:

A former Washington Teachers Union official who was convicted of stealing union dues is seeking leniency because she thinks she's being stalked by a small person with a spear, federal court records show.
In "a new plea for leniency, [Gwendolyn M. Hemphill] now asserts that she suffers from a serious mental disease, including psychotic episodes in which she is confronted by 'a small, dark-skinned person with a thin Roman nose, small lips and a spear, who is dressed like a native African,' " prosecutors say in a pre-sentencing memo filed this week in U.S. District Court.
