The Michigan union contract that required a school district to discriminiate against Christians and whites as now been amended so that it won’t discriminate against Christians.
Partial victory: The Michigan union contract that required a school district to discriminiate against Christians and whites as now been amended so that it won’t discriminate against Christians.
I am not for favoring whites. I am against anything that considers ethnicity or religion as a factor for employment.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

What is important here is that the people in charge, for what ever reason, consciously chose to write the requirements as they did, singling out Christians. That was not a mistake it was purposeful. IMO it was to test the outer limits of the envelope and it is a reflection of how and what they believe and what they intend to do if allowed the opportunity.
But was it voted on and ratified by a vote of the union?
Was it also agreed upon by the school board and its lawyers?
If not then changing it after the fact might not be enforceable legally. Even if it is against the law or other parts of the contract.
A union member could still use the now missing language to file a suit for not hiring or promoting them because they didn’t apply the now missing clause. That was voted on and signed by the union members.
Until the next contract vote and arbitration comes up I bet this was all just to keep the public quiet.
What an honor and distinguished award to receive.

“A union member could still use the now missing language to file a suit for not hiring or promoting them because they didn’t apply the now missing clause. ”
Actually no. A clause that is obviously illegal cannot be enforced. If a union member sued because they believed non-Christians were not being favored, the court would throw the suit out and probably rule that the clause is illegal and must be removed.
Of course, this assumption on my part depends on judges who know how to read plain English in the law rather than political tracts written by activists, something that is becoming questionable.
You have to remember.
Both sides had lawyers helping to write this contract out.
Both sides finalized it and sent it for a vote.
No one noticed.
A judge is nothing more than a lawyer with a steady job.
