Why isn't Alex Cortes at school today? He has legal issues.

Alex Cortes and Tom Cruz of Chula Vista Elementary School District aren't helping kids today.

They have legal issues.

They've had legal issues ever since they fired a teacher for being pregnant. We all know what pregnancy results in: childcare issues.

And childcare issues are not acceptable at Silverwing Elementary School.

CORRECTION:
AS OF NOVEMBER 29, 2007 I HAVE CHANGED MY THINKING REGARDING ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT TOM CRUZ AND SILVERWING PRINCIPAL ALEX CORTES.

I NOW BELIEVE THAT HOSTILITY TOWARD WOMEN WHO HAVE "CHILDCARE ISSUES" WAS VERY MUCH THE ATTITUDE OF TOM CRUZ AND LOWELL BILLINGS, BEFORE ALEX CORTES EVER CAME TO CVESD. MAYBE CORTES' HOSTILITY TO FEMALE TEACHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN WAS THE PRECISE REASON HE WAS HIRED!

HERE IS MY ORIGINAL POST:

And childcare issues are not acceptable at Silverwing Elementary School.

At least, that's what Alex Cortes thinks, and who is Tom Cruz to argue with him? He's the assistant superintendent for human resources, you say? Well, he apparently got the job by not doing much arguing. Mr. Cruz would have done the kids at Silverwing Elementary School a big favor if he had nixed Cortes' bad idea in the first place. But Cruz seems to be quite buddy-buddy with lawyer Pamela Dempsey. During court breaks, they whisper and laugh. Maybe Cruz wanted to give Dempsey some work.

HERE IS WHAT I THINK NOW:

I think Alex Cortes was doing exactly what Tom Cruz, Lowell Billings and the board wanted him to do. Of course, I also believe that Alex Cortes is pretty heartless. He dehumanized Danielle Coziahr the minute he saw the baby in her arms. He was a good soldier for people who don't give a hoot about the law or the wellbeing of employees of CVESD--unless, of course, they have a political motivation to do so.

Thank you to those who informed me that it's Alex Cortes, not Alex Cortez. I've corrected my earlier mistakes.
