Teachers’ treatment far cry from veterans’
In response to Todd Ruder’s analogy of comparing teachers treatment and returning Vietnam veterans, I say it’s baloney! I was one of those returning veterans and was actually spit at, had eggs thrown at me, was called a “baby killer,” and was refused service in restaurants and bars while in uniform. I do not believe any nonmilitary veteran teacher has experienced the above or similar treatment, and to make the comparison is utter nonsense and insult to all veterans.
