It's got nothing to do with good or bad, really.

They laid off non-bilingual teachers.
I'm sure they weren't all "bad".
That's just how the cookie crumbles.

You're just begging, with an absolutist and value-laden statement like that, for one of your fellow forum members to come along and start yipping about how their mom/ wife/ cousin/ aunt/ friend is a good teacher who recently got laid off, and yadda yadda.
Good and bad are subjective terms anyway.

Anybody in any profession can get laid off.
There are other states besides Utah. There are other school districts besides Bill's-wife's-ISD.
Get a mirror, read my post, watch your lips, read your lips. I clearly said that I cannot speak for all states, but for Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and many other western states, no teacher gets laid off except for the one instance I noted, and they just went to another nearby district. So what I said was accurate for my situation. So far nobody else has gotten their hackles up over my statement. But if YOU want to have a hissy fit, go for it...
