Look Out Leo, There's A Big Mouse Behind You....

Disney has disappeared Leo Casey from the records of its American Teacher Awards. Because he thought John Stossel was a jerk and did something about it. I hate to think what Disney wants to do to Paul Waldman or David Schultz.
I'm making light of this, because when a corporation uses its power in a petty and arbitrary way to punish people, well mocking them is a good first step. For those of you who don't think working people really need protection from arbitrary acts by corporations in the workplace, this is the sort of story that should make you think again.
Update: Mike Antonucci has raised some points about this and Leo has updated his post to respond. Andy Rotherham calls me out for being in full mode moralizing here. Perhaps I'll respond by watching the Tonight Show.
