Students Harrass Brooklyn Teacher, Board Blames Her

2008_08_Teacher_Suit.jpgA Williamsburg high school teacher is filing a federal discrimination complaint against the Department of Education. After three years of complaining about students fondling her, calling her a "b-- licker," and flinging condoms at one another, the only response the NY Daily News says social studies teacher Theresa Reel got was a scolding from the Department of Ed for wearing a "low cut, V-neck, lace top" that was deemed "inappropriate attire." Reel claims that she doesn't even own such a top and that she has waited this long to take action against the Department ignoring her because of fears of what would happen to her job without having tenure.

Does that mean "bum licker"? Have we moved to London and nobody told me?
