Maybe he should have blown it up...looks like a rat hole...

Remember the boy who was on a school bus talking to his friends and said that he wishes he had a gun to protect them? The bus driver over heard him and took back to the school, where the principal suspended him for just saying the word gun.
Or what about the six year old boy that pointed his finger at another kid and acted like he was shooting him? He was suspended also. Then there was the 5 year old girl that threatened to shoot another kindergartner with her Hello Kitty Bubble Gun when they got home from school. She was also suspended.
In all of these cases, kids were instantly suspended for making threats, innocent playful threats, against other students. The suspensions came before any investigation could be completed.
But there seems to be a difference justice for school administrators than there is for students. Neifi Juan Acosta is the principal of New York Intermediate School 232. He is a shining example for his students as he is known for his fiery temper and angry outbursts.
Last November, Acosta was conducting a meeting with his staff and faculty concerning what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School. During the meeting Acosta went on a tirade, yelling at his staff and faculty about how much stress he is under and how frustrated he was. He angrily told the attendees that they were in God’s seat of judgment. One of the attendees reported:
“It got very fire and brimstone, very fundamentalist.”
Someone at the meeting asked Acosta if he was angry at the students or the faculty and he answered faculty. Then Acosta was reported to have said:
“I know what I’ll do, I’ll call a conference in the cafeteria, and I’ll put on a vest like the terrorists do and I’m going to blow you all up.”
A number of the faculty that attended the meeting filed complaints against Acosta. It took investigators until January to start investigating the complaints. During the investigation, Acosta placed laminated posters with Bible verses on the classroom doors of faculty members that were scheduled to be interviewed by the investigators.
Six months after the angry threat was made, Acosta is still on the job. He has not been placed on administrative leave nor has he been suspended. How can the school board keep this man in his position of principal? He cannot control his temper which is a very poor and dangerous example for his students. If anyone anywhere in this country makes a threat to wear a vest full of explosives and blow up a bunch of people will instantly be arrested for making terrorist threats.
A 6 year old is suspended for playing and using his finger as a gun and this principal is not suspended for making a terrorist threat to his staff. A 5 year old threatens to shoot another 5 year old with a toy gun that shoots bubbles when they got home and she is suspended, but Acosta threatens to kill his entire faculty and he’s still on the job.
While I believe all of the student suspensions are wrong and were handed down too hastily, but on the other hand, I don’t understand why Neifi Juan Acosta was not suspended or placed on administrated leave pending the investigation. Obviously, justice is not equal for students and school administrators.
I wonder if this is a Union Thing?
Like the guy once said when the kids start paying dues is when he starts to represent them. Until then he represents the teachers who do pay dues.
The only way to level the playing field would be to unionize kindergarten students. This way a six year old can scare the hell out of a teacher by pointing his finger at him like a gun with impunity.
The Sandy Hook Tragedy occurred on December 14, 2012.
Very bizarre. But having gone through most of my education in the NY public system, I can tell you that there are a lot of very bizarre people in it.
I would have thought that he was simply trying to get his staff to be a little more proactive about weeding out or supervising potential child nutcases - if he hadn’t had the non-Hispanic and probably Arabic first name and if he hadn’t flipped out like this. After that, I’m not sure exactly what he wants.
In any case, the odious Quinn, when she gets elected, will probably offer all of the students in the NY public school system to Al Qaida just to keep them happy.

Leftists don’t mind bombs, because their heros, like Bill Ayers and Muslim Jihadis, use bombs.
On the other hand, if he had made a gun figure with his fingers, or nibbled a cracker into the shape of an AK-47, then he would be in deep doo-doo.
Thanks for your post. I didn't write the article, Dave Jolly at Political Outcast did.
He did a lot of other wonderful things, like siccing an obviously mentally disturbed parent on me and threatening me in front of her, thrusting his finger in my face to emphasize his points. He also routinely humiliated me in front of students and colleagues. One colleague told me that one of her students told her that he would not allow that student to drop a class unless the student wrote a statement against his teacher. That was a common ploy of this POS, soliciting student statements against teachers he wished to target.
Nothing happened to him. Even when 4 teachers in his department filed complaints with the EEOC, nothing was done to him. Eventually, he was encouraged to retire (with a full pension) and found an adjunct teaching position at a local university, teaching a subject he knew nothing about.
