Scary, depressing, appalling. I spoke out at school and am now leaving my job. So many people have expressed support and agreement but don't dare to say so publicly. Once you're 'out' your courage grows. Do it, people!

"Once you're 'out' your courage grows." This is true. It is also true that you "find" it - it may have been sleeping, but it is you.
I worked in a city bureaucracy for 30 years. I "took it" more times than I can recall. I was fearful of adverse action by Management. Then, late-career, I found courage and my limit. I hired an attorney and become aggressive and barely-compromising. I read statutes, documented events, wrote letters, appeared before the Board, and found others.
In truth, I became desperate, and refused to cooperate with The Program. I am grateful that I "turned" before leaving - I respect and trust myself much more for it.

Strength in numbers. Speak up.
Bless you for speaking up. I am always appalled at how few of the teachers I know say anything at all. Actually, I don't know a single one:(
