First, philosophy: If we expect to be a nation of laws, the laws must apply equitably to all.

Second, practicality. Remember those NYC teachers the school district had to hire back? It wasn’t because they didn’t deserve to be fired, it was because the process wasn’t followed.

If you have a process intended to ensure due process and you ignore the process, you cannot get the case dismissed. Further and regardless of the merits of the actual firing you are probably going to have to re-hire the scum and pay back-pay.

So again, it bothers me that this was so fast. I am concerned the process wasn’t followed.

That is a reasonable concern, how can we determine if it was followed or not?
