If the schools/teachers are terrified of parents suing them, perhaps they need to reexamine the the liberal school environment that is causing such idiotic lawsuits. There never before was a problem with any teacher putting a restraining hand on a kid's shoulder. What has changed? Does the liberal school system really think it is not at all their fault? Maybe the school union needs to stop supporting liberal politics which promulgates ideas about "student rights" that probably cause such demented lawsuits.
Was it the unions that propegated the ideas of "students rights?" Why would the unions be interested in doing that? It has done nothing but make MORE work for teachers, increased hours, meetings, training, etc.
Perhaps our liberal school system is a reflection of our society...similar trends can be seen in private business, the medical industry, etc...
I agree that the Unions are ridiculously liberal and that they support liberal ideas and agendas...but your hypothosis doesn't pass the smell test - why would teachers/unions ASK for more work, less appreciation, and more opportunitites to be sued?
