NYC paying disgraced teacher $100K per year for doing nothing

NYC paying disgraced teacher $100K per year for doing nothing. Removed from teaching duties in 2001 for lewd behavior, the city can’t fire him (not enough evidence), they don’t want him teaching and he won’t retire, so he does nothing and gets paid for it, while adding to his pension windfall to boot. Spends his “work” time managing his $10 million real estate portfolio. It’s for the children!

So how's this any different than paying the non-disgraced teachers of NYC who accomplish nothing?

I got the perfect job for this prick, get him a mop, a bucket and some sawdust and have him go on permanent "Vomit Patrol" at all the schools, he could be called Vomit one on the radio and we'll get him a nice little electric car to drive. All day long he could go from one child eruption to another, during the flu season he would be busier that a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

  Yeah, why does he have to teach? How about make him do SOMETHING!
