Another NYCDOE Educator Arrested for Speaking Up!
I should write this post as if it were a Twilight Zone episode.Imagine if you will a young, attractive, white female, first year teacher who unravels a string of corruption at her school and is sent without warning or knowing why to the Rubber Room. Soon she is terminated whilst the principal that she exposed for financial improprieties and other not nice stuff is removed from her school and promoted. Meanwhile this young lady enters the Kafkaesque world of the NYCDOE in which up is down, good is bad, and insane is sane.Nah.....
Not knowing why she has been fired she hires hot shot attorney and commences a letter writing campaign only asking to explain to her why she has been terminated. Soon this campaign reaches the desk of Det. Barney Fife of the 84th precinct in Brooklyn. She is arrested and soon enters the Twilight Zone.
Again, this post comes to you from the files of the "You Can't Make This Shit Up," department.
I am talking of course that yet another educator was arrested and booked for daring to speak their mind as the New York Post reported this past Sunday.
Yes, add Lydia Howrilka to the list of teachers arrested by the 84th Precinct to the list, albeit small and exclusive thus far, of educators arrested for just speaking up.
What innocuous act did Lydia perform that got her locked up for over 14 hours and send to Central http://www.southbronxschool.com:
