UFT Or NFL?
Sure, it’s wrong to use certain words around children, even in Spanish, but a $15,000 fine as well? That seems a little harsh:
A veteran teacher who was sidelined over accusations of spewing a Spanish profanity is suing the city over his suspension and $15,000 fine.
[A] teacher at the High School of International Business and Finance in Washington Heights, denies using the Spanish word for “c—” in front of students — and wants to know what the big deal is, anyway.
Just for comparison’s sake, the Cleveland Browns’ T.J. Ward was recently fined $15,000 for clobbering a wide receiver in the end zone. In September, the Washington Nationals’ Nyjer Morgan was fined $15,000 for FSU in games that don’t matter that late in the season. And in Oregon, you can get fined $15,000 for poaching elk.
