Teachers Protest Slavery Claim Over Extra Duties
In Tallahassee the Leon County School Board, Superintendent Ned Lovell, and Principal John Lawrence say extra duties such as lunchroom and bus duties and coaching cheerleaders are required of teachers. Florida Education Association attorney Ron Meyer contends this violates the 13th Amendment and will be challenged in court. Charles Musser and Sally Cable were dismissed for performing what they call contracted after school chores, Musser receiving a $1000 supplement and Cable no extra pay. The board upheld the firings amid concerns about broad school implications.
