School districts more often than not sweep such shit under the rug.
On May 21, Mr. Keaton summoned a special education teacher to his office to discuss an allegation that she had used corporal punishment on a student. Robert Segarra, a union representative and kindergarten teacher at the school, came as her advocate.
Mr. Segarra said that at one point, Mr. Keaton began poking him and, when Mr. Segarra would not back down, hitting him. Mr. Segarra, 49, said he never lifted a finger as Mr. Keaton punched him to the ground and hit or kicked him at least 20 times.
Mr. Segarra had bruises on his neck, head and arms. The police said a stomp print on his head matched the tread of Mr. Keaton’s shoe.
Mr. Keaton’s lawyer, Richard F. X. Guay, who entered a not-guilty plea on Mr. Keaton’s behalf in criminal court on Thursday, said that his client was “presumed innocent by law” and “eager to be vindicated in our justice system.”
The Department of Education reassigned Mr. Keaton to administrative duties at another location, pending the outcome of his case.
Note this:
At a bus stop around the corner, though, Ms. Rivera, 41, an aircraft cleaner, offered a more balanced assessment. “When it comes to the kids, he’s No. 1,” she said. “But he can be evil. When you see too much of what goes on in the school, that’s when he doesn’t want you around. If he thinks you’re trying to bring him down, he’ll bring you down first.”
Just the type we need in public schools; real evil sons of bitches who "get the job done." Forget it.
By the way, this case is prominent on the National Association for the Prevent of Teacher Abuse site:
...Principals know they are well connected to power and can do pretty much what they want to anyone who attempts to thwart their wrongdoing. Certainly this alleged incident shows a principal who feels very connected to power!
However, the unions' choice of abandoning teachers rather than reporting white chalk crime is unacceptable. Unions must move from avoiding the truth, to standing up and speaking about it. Although Randi Weingarten, President of the UFT, made an alleged sympathetic statement, missing is her acknowledgement of an ongoing, organized practice of teacher abuse that thrives on false allegations, which includes soviet union styled psychiatric testing and preying on teachers' inability to fight in court against powerful tax subsidized adversaries.
This alleged incident is much more than about a principal who needs discipline and Weingarten knows that. Teachers have continuously begged Weingarten to help expose the white chalk crime that makes schools about power and perks and not education. As long as EducRAT$ have the power to bully their way above the laws as they do, and as Weingarten knows that they do, why would they stop at verbal bullying when they can simply assault someone in their way? Why would she speak of this type of bullying as wrong yet fail to report psychological bullying that has been rampant for years? We are waiting for the union leadership to speak the truth rather than manipulate a situation to make it look like they care about fairness and justice!!!!!
NAPTA
They can do whatever the hell they want because they are totally unaccountable to the public. Meanwhile teachers can be ruined for any kind of "reason" at all.
