Personally, I thought that post was funny, and got the message
across... no, there is no "blacklist". The closest thing I can think
of in real life would be the fact that a person's certification can
be revoked either temporarily or permanently for certain criminal
activity and endangerment to minors. That is the only way a person
can be "banned" from teaching across multiple districts and it is
only done within legal boundaries, etc. But, this is done by the
state not by admin.
