Think Twice Before Speaking

This is not the first time I'm ranting here about this person, nor is this the first time he has brought up this "concern" during a faculty meeting.

It was about the freshmen having no pictures in the class list given to him.

First of all, the students' pictures in the class lists were only instituted in 2006, well after he had started teaching here, so there was a time when he received class lists without pictures.

Second, if it's something he absolutely relies on to be able to identify his students (after all, does he give them an opportunity to talk in class since he's wagging his tongue the whole period?) what did he do before?

For freshman classes, especially large ones, I've resorted to asking the students to bring ID pictures on index cards for grade incentives (not as if it's coming out of my pocket).

I think it's inconsiderate to complain to Ms. Karen about it knowing she has enough problems on her job, and stupid to bring it up at a faculty meeting when no one else backs you up and it ends up just being a plea for attention, even (especially) if you do preface it "I know the answer to this has been brought up in a previous item about IDs this year being delayed".
