The Story of Steve Ostrin And The Violation Of His Due Process Rights By The NYC Department of Education
From Betsy Combier: I have known Steve for more than four years, as an investigative reporter looking into the false claims and defamation by Joel Klein and Michael Bloomberg of tenured teachers thrown into the "rubber room". Steve's rubber room for almost six years was 25 Chapel Street in Brooklyn New York, 10th Floor. He is an innocent man painted with the wrong colors by the New York Post.
