NY- Creepy teachers allowed to keep jobs

Piss off the wrong parent and you’ll see change in a hurry

On Friday, The News exposed city teachers who were accused of serious classroom offenses but kept on the payroll because state arbitrators said they couldn’t be fired.

One male instructor allegedly bent a boy over a chair and said, “I’ll show you what is gay,” while thrusting into him from behind. Another is accused of telling a student, “If it’s not going to get me in trouble, I would kiss you.” Others allegedly touched kids and followed them home.

The mayor said he had little control over firing teachers for misconduct because their punishments are decided by the hearing officers, who are chosen by the city and the teachers union.

“The theory is that they don’t want to be too tough on union members because then the union will never allow them to be selected,” said Bloomberg, who insisted he’s “fighting” to change the system.

    This does not mean the teachers cannot be personally sued. What has been described here is a sexual assaut by a pedofile!

    unfortunately the parents are the ones ultimately footing the bill when districts go after these scumbag teachers and have to spend huindreds of thousands in legal fees to go through the process of removal – the process is so messed up that many times they aren’t successful and community is out major funds….
