Sexual Harassment, Teacher Witch-hunts and the Most Corrupt Ed. Bureaucracy on Planet Earth.

[Smarmie Doofus]

Bloomberg increased the legal and investigative education bureaucracy dramatically as soon as he took over so he could turn-over ( i.e. drive-out senior teachers) staff and secure cheap labor. So you have all these creepster lawyers and goofy "investigators" running around looking to build cases against teachers ( esp whistleblowers and dissidents.)

Obama and Duncan should be proud. It's all about teacher accountability, ya see.


Anyway, rank injustice.... as any 10 year old could have predicted... often results. Here's a particularly grotesque example. From school "reform's" favorite rag, the NY Post:


>>>>A Department of Education detective tried to have sex with a Brooklyn teacher he was probing in exchange for letting her keep her job, she charges.
Investigator Lawrence Scott, 40, allegedly sent scores of X-rated texts, a photo of his penis and explicit demands for sex to Natalya Sokolson Gordon, a computer and fifth-grade teacher at PS 329 in Coney Island.

“I like it dirty,” Scott text­ed the tall brunette soon after inviting her to call him when she got “the courage.”
Over 2¹/₂ months, he sent Gordon a barrage of pornographic messages and requests.
Gordon, 44, admits she sexted back — even sending him topless and bottomless photos of herself, which he requested. She claims it was a desperate bid to save her career from what she called false accusations.

“I feel so stupid for believing he would help me,” she told The Post, tears streaming down her face. “I was scared I was going to lose my job. I felt I had no choice. He had my life in his hands.”

The schools investigator sent lurid come-ons like this one.
In a meeting at his office on Nov. 14, 2012, Gordon said, Scott boasted that he could get teachers fired — or off the hook.
“I have the power to get rid of you just like that,” she said he told her, snapping his fingers, “or I can make everything go away.”

The scandal undermines the integrity of the DOE’s Office of Special Investigations, where Scott worked for three years. He resigned his $65,000-a-year post in October when confronted with the texts. more:http://nypost.com/2013/12/29/teacher-sleazy-investigator-said-sex-would-get-me-off-the-hook/

1. Fucking sleezball predator he belongs in jail for blackmail and sexual harrasment

[shraby]

2. Why isn't he in jail, or on trial? That has so many "don'ts" I wouldn't know where to begin

prosecuting. Abuse of power is a good start, sexual harassment is a good second charge, blackmail is a good third charge. What's the holdup?

3. My guess is Condon's office was looking for a way to cover for him.

(He's one of their own.)

Note: he tried to turn it back on the victim; they are INFAMOUS for doing this to whistleblowers in the NYC system ( though the victim here does not appear to be in that category.)

Now that it's hit the fan, plan B will be enacted. I have no idea what "B" is, but we can be reasonably sure that it will entail minimizing political damage to the Special Commissioner of Investigation.

As I said: "the most corrupt ed bureaucracy on planet Earth."

4. Are there texts in which he makes these demands? nt

5. Apparently, yes:
