Viagra for Teachers

(Milwaukee, Wisconsin) While the Milwaukee School Board is giving layoff notices to hundreds of teachers due to a "financial crisis," the teachers union is asking a judge to order the school board to include erectile dysfunction drugs in its health insurance plans.

So, instead of allocating $786,000 towards keeping teachers working, the teachers union wants the funds applied towards anti-limp medication for those dysfunctional members still in classrooms.

In a nutshell, it seems there's a dilemma as to whether it's more important to keep teachers working or shelve them to provide a pharmaceutical-assist to the erection-challenged.

Heh. Maybe it's just me but a simple scan of news reports would find that American school systems have problems with too many erections, not too few. It would be more logical to incorporate erection inhibitors in teachers' pharmaceutical regimen.
