A Bronx middle school teacher, pissed off he was reassigned to the infamous "rubber room" on allegations I am sure are bogus, made sure he would be fired when he stupidly made a bomb threat:
Mr. Kelly, the police commissioner, said that the teacher was being disciplined after being accused on Thursday of having struck a student and had been told by the principal not to return, and that Mr. Garabitos thought the charge wrong and wanted the principal transferred.
An official with knowledge of the case said that Mr. Garabitos was a union chapter chairman at the school and had received a letter on Thursday informing him that he was being reassigned to a so-called rubber room — a term for classrooms where teachers removed from teaching duties are assigned — as discipline for imposing corporal punishment [pdf] on a student.
The teacher barricaded himself in the classroom, saying, “I have a date with God,” the official said. Although there were no students in the classroom, the roughly 1,200 children attending the three schools on the educational campus were evacuated, and the police were summoned.
He was probably abused, but he argued his case in the wrong way, obviously.
