A Bronx charter school is under fire from parents who say a teacher bullied kids -- and even forced one child to tell his crush, a girl, that he was gay.
According to court papers filed this week, the teacher, Jared Alessandroni, 29, threatened to "out" a straight 9-year-old boy, James Pastrana, to his class at the South Bronx Charter School for International Cultures and the Arts, unless James told his crush he was gay.
"I was so humiliated," said Pastrana, who reluctantly scribbled the false confession in a note to the girl. "It started to spread around the whole class and then everyone wanted to call me gay."
A second lawsuit alleges that Alessandroni twisted an 8-year-old boy's arm in a school stairwell in 2008 because he didn't like the way the boy was walking.

I've never heard of something like this. That poor kid could be traumatized for life.

"I was so humiliated," said Pastrana, who reluctantly scribbled the false confession in a note to the girl. "It started to spread around the whole class and then everyone wanted to call me gay." Circumstantial proof that 'gay' will never be accepted by humans, and will always be subject to blackmail, including in the military.

What is it about commie ‘RATS like this moronic “teacher”? Every time they want to screw someone over, they accuse them of being a homosexual pervert.

Not that the NY Post ever sensationalized a story before, but I suspect there is more here than meets the eye.

NINE? He forced a NINE year old to tell his girl friend that he was gay?
The teacher should be FIRED for this behavior. THen he should be told to mind his own business.

I can’t even imagine what must be going through this poor boy’s mind. So many questions as to motive. If the teacher did do this to the boy, why? Is the man a jealous pedophile, one way or the other? Has he been extorting others? What’s his side of the story?

I don’t care what consenting adults do behind closed doors-not my business- but using a teaching position to impose such a thing on an innocent child is disgusting at best. If what this “teacher” did isn’t criminal, it should be.

If this was my child, that teacher would be “disciplined” in front of the class.

If you Google his name, you will get a Facebook page. If this is the same guy, you will not be surprised by what you read.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
