Perverted Teacher, 75, Logs 13 Years in Rubber Room

The New York Post reports:

At age 75, Roland Pierre is the granddaddy of the rubber room -- 13 years in the purgatory of teachers yanked from the classroom for alleged wrongdoing.
But the Department of Education can't fire Pierre, and he's stuck around long past the minimum retirement age.
Pierre was permanently removed from the classroom in 1997 after he was accused of sexually molesting a sixth-grade girl at PS 138 in Brooklyn.
But since then, Pierre has continued to receive full pay and fringe benefits, including health, pension and vacation, officials said. He pulls down $97,101 a year.

What a progressive business model for the 21st Century! A truly proud moment in public education.
