I went to college in Texas and we had an English teacher who had tenure and just like clockwork, 15 minutes into the class, she would have us read something out of the book and she would fall asleep. Every class she did this. We complained to the president of the college and he said because she has tenure, nothing can be done. Finally, it reached the point when she fell asleep, we all quietly walked out of class so she woke up to an empty classroom. And she gave us all As and Bs for the course. Tenure is telling the teacher, ok you can goof off now or go teach the values of socialism and there's nothing we can do to stop whatever you want to teach or to express your whacky your political views. Tenure should be dropped in every college and university.
