The Plight of Ted Smith

[SoBronxSchool]

Ted Smith has been been screwed so badly from the NYC DOE for speaking out, for putting the students well being first. You will be appalled at what you read.

I know Ted. I appeared on his radio show back in March of 2009. He is a good person, a warm hearted person. He does not deserved what has happened to him. He blew the whistle and got screwed. What is sad is where is the UFT in all this, where is the outrage? The following is from Ted Smith's own words which appeared in Gotham Schools tonight. THIS IS WHY TEACHERS NEED TENURE AND LIFO!!!


Ted Smith Teacher

I am making a complaint to various government agencies and asking for an investigation based on evidence that the Department of Education (DOE) of New York City, the Special Commissioner of Investigation (SCI), Arbitrator Bonnie Weinstock (Weinstock) and my former attorney David Kearney (Kearney) committed conspiracy, corruption, fraud and “fraud on the court”, in particular the Appellate Division, the First Department of New York and other Courts. They violated the color of law statute, falsified government agency reports, lied under oath and severely violated the Constitution. The schemes involved are truly frightening. The U.S. and the New York State governments, and the New York State Commissioner of Education, must conduct an investigation, since the rights of everyone are involved. This scheme and corruption cannot be ignored. This letter covers a small part of what has occurred. There is documentation for every statement of fact referred to in this letter. (E-mails, letters, tapes and transcripts are available in the public records, some of which I am enclosing).

Briefly, I am a former tenured teacher employed by the DOE from 1995 through 2010. Until 2005, I had only the highest annual evaluation ratings in every category. For 15 years I also worked with the United Nations After-School program, until the program was discontinued in 2010. I have earned a Supervisory License and had planned to become a principal.
