CTA refuses to take any
responsibility for illegal actions
of local CTA-affiliate officials
against members.
Yet CTA controls those local
officials when it comes to
promoting CTA's agenda!
CTA is like any corrupt insurance
company. It will not spend one
dime protecting those who pay
premiums if it can help it, even if
it has to commit crimes to keep
the money. However, it pays
huge amounts to lawyers like
Beverly Tucker who are in control
of CTA.
Obviously, there are bullies at Sheldon Elementary, but not all of them are children. The adults involved are very reminiscent of
the adults involved in the Maura Larkins case in Chula Vista, CA. In fact, two individuals were involved in both cases! They are
Richard Werlin and Pixie Hayward- Schnickele.
No, the problem is not Richmond schools in particular, although the
superintendent of West Contra Costa County Unified School District,
Bruce Harter, apparently disregarded this site when he hired Werlin
in 2006. He flunked Google. (Or maybe Rick Werlin was exactly
what he wanted???)
He did the same thing at Castle Park Elementary in Chula Vista Elementary School District.
Fortunately, the teacher in Chula Vista was at home, so the police left empty-handed.
Werlin's testimony under oath has been contradicted by teachers on more than one occasion.
To put it simply, Werlin has a habit of making foolish decisions, then making up false stories
to justify his decisions.
One might have thought that the
Maura Larkins case involved
deeply personal issues for the
teachers who were exposed as
having falsely accused Maura
Larkins. It didn't. Nothing about
their private lives was revealed.
The effort to conceal depositions
was motivated only by the effort
to cover up CTA's wrongdoing.
At right is Maura Larkins'
response to efforts of CTA and its
co-defendants to keep videotapes
secret.
Of course, the judge did not have
the authority to keep secret the
evidence of multiple perjuries in
furtherance of spoliation of
documents.
Maura Larkins' letter to CTA and its co-defendants regarding their
anxiety about the truth being revealed in her case.
In January 2007, Richmond, California second-grade teacher Jenny Mo was arrested in front of her students when she spoke
out about children bullying other children at the school, and then refused to be silenced by Assistant Superintendent for Human
Resources Rick Werlin.
Does the name Werlin sound familiar? To readers of this site, and people in an assortment of school districts across the country
where he has worked, Mr. Werlin's name is indeed familiar.
Werlin most likely got an okay from Gail Mendez before he took
action against Jenny Mo. Gail Mendez is known for her attacks on
teachers who speak out.
At CTA, "ethics" is defined as not blowing the whistle, no matter what.
At CTA, everyone looks the other way, even when crimes are committed against members. (Or especially when crimes are
committed against members.)
I don't have a picture of Richard Werlin, but here is the next best thing I have to offer. I have long suspected that Mr. Werlin was separated at birth from former United Nations ambassador John Bolton.

Werlin
Werlin and Bolton share the same kiss-up, kick-down personalities, and the same history of fits of anger and abuse of employees. The last time I saw Mr. Werlin, he was sporting a mustache identical to Mr. Bolton's, but he has bright blue contact lenses instead of glasses.

How does CTA
harm the
educational
system in
California?
By insisting that
teachers be
judged based on
politics rather
than teaching
ability.
There was blatant
power-mongering in the
Joyce Abrams case, with
Joyce Abrams as both
victim and perpetrator.
CTA is powerful in deciding
who can teach and where
they can teach.
How does he get rehired? First, because anti-teacher board members
and superintendents think people like Werlin are just what they
need--apparently even though his actions tend to result in legal bills
costing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.
But let's not forget the enormous help Werlin gets from California
Teachers Association. CTA works with people like Werlin to protect
CTA leaders from responsibility for wrongdoing. Werlin received an
enormous amount of help from the California Teachers Association
when he was covering up wrongdoing by himself and a small group of
politically-connected (politically-connected means connected to the
union) teachers in Chula Vista Elementary School District from 2001
to the present.
Apparently the first thing Werlin did when he got to WCCCUSD was to
cultivate union president Gail Mendes, who had a personal
relationship with Werlin that included calling him on his cell phone
during vacation.
Rick Werlin, who has been pushed out of district after district (in
Texas, New York, and California), always seems to get rehired.

This teacher went "off message" when she talked to outsiders
about bullying at her school. Just as happened in Chula Vista,
Jenny's fellow teachers were just as interested in silencing her
as the district was. CTA does not take kindly to teachers who
speak out.
Werlin most likely got an okay from Gail Mendez before he took
action against Jenny Mo. Gail Mendez is known for her attacks on
teachers who speak out.
WCCCUSD didn't seem to be too happy about the publicity
surrounding Jenny Mo's arrest, which was much worse than any
publicity that might have resulted from Jenny's reports of bullying
at the school.
Richard Werlin resigned from the district soon after the district
attorney declined to press charges against Jenny Mo.
Why do some CTA local presidents work so willingly with shady
characters like Richard Werlin? It appears to be a form of mutual
aid; they can count on each other's help to protect them from
responsibility for wrongdoing.
Apparently the first thing Richard Werlin did when he got to
WCCCUSD was to cultivate union president Gail Mendes, who had a
personal relationship with Werlin that included calling him on his
