Queens, New York Teacher Fired For Being "Straight"


NYPost.com:
A Queens teacher claims he was fired because he’s straight.

Lane McDonough says he was hired to teach fifth grade at Bayside’s PS 159 because Principal Paul Didio mistakenly believed he “was gay at the time of the interview,” according to a lawsuit.

Didio was wary of hiring men because of “a bad experience,” he allegedly told the rookie educator during the June 2014 interview. “I gave a male teacher a bad review, and he retaliated by accusing me of soliciting [oral sex].”

The principal — who the lawsuit claims is gay — hired McDonough anyway. But two months later, after interrogating the teacher about his personal life, Didio, 39, discovered McDonough was heterosexual, court papers say.

Didio forced McDonough to switch grades a month into the school year, ridiculed him for being unprepared, subjected him to numerous informal observations, and even reprimanded him for boxes left by another educator in McDonough’s classroom, according to the lawsuit, which McDonough filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court against the city Department of Education.

The probationary teacher wants his dismissal reversed. The city will review the allegations when it’s served with the lawsuit, a Law Department spokesman said.
Only in Barack Obama's Godless America can stuff like this happen and it'll only continue if Hillary Clinton is elected POTUS in 2016.
