Two Different Perspectives On Tenure ( Where do you stand on this issue?)

The following articles report two different perspectives on tenure. The first one is a New York Times article that discusses the well-publicized court case that eliminated tenure in the state of California. The judge presiding over the case said, “Substantial evidence presented makes it clear to this court that the 
challenged statutes disproportionately affect poor and/or 
minority students”.

The second article makes the claim that tenure is not the issue. It 
points out that "modifying teacher tenure rules is not the 
new Brown. The decision in Vergara v. California  won’t do much 
to help poor kids and is a diversion from the real source of 
inequality identified in Brown itself: the segregation of our public 
schools."
