I read about this a few days ago, and my first thought was for the poor lawyers on both sides who fought this out for 20 years, all while getting paid

2M is just his back pay I think.

He also gets a pension, as if he had worked 30 years.

Maybe the poor rich man has had stroke. His speech and train of thought are fragmented. But if that was his normal speech pattern decades ago, all the children who did not have him as a teacher got lucky.

As has he.

I think Grim is a German name, as in ‘The Brother’s Grim’ Fairy Tales. Is this teacher a white guy, and he got a payout too? He’s not the most articulate.

Unsurprisingly, slaves on southern plantations usually assumed (or were simply given) the surnames of their White masters. Hence the large number of Black Americans surnamed "Washington," "MacDonald," etc.

The Brothers Grimm (note: no apostrophe, and two Gs) were German philologists and - most famously - folklorists.

“Kimba Woods, a federal court judge known as the “Love Judge” for multiple divorces and breaking up a marriage, as well as awful jurisprudence, found that requiring applicants to pass a Liberal Arts and Sciences Test to teach liberal art and science violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Wood said it was discriminatory because it was not an indicator of being a good teacher. “


Kimba Woods was one of the losers BJ Clinton nominated as Attorney General.

Like Zoe Baird, Woods got turfed because of hiring illegal alien nanny’s and not paying taxes.

New York City chose to settle. Why?

Because they wanted to pass out the money.

Today's elected officials are not conscientious stewards of the people's treasury. Instead, as in any Third World country, they are elected to loot the treasure for themselves and their tribe, clan, supporters, etc.

What does the Teacher’s Union say about this unqualified person syphoning money from their pension fund?

Comrade DeBlasio’s lesbian MARXIST wife “lost” a reported $800 Million plus dollars from an organization she was running.

Who says that stupidity, false cries of racism, and gross incompetence, plus a touch of larceny, doesn’t pay, especially in New York state/city and most of California.

What happens to the white people and Asian people who failed the test? I believe there is racism involved here but it is DEFINITELY NOT ANTI-BLACK RACISM.

Getting reparations for being a stupid, dark skinned person. Good “work” if you can get it.

A “Teachers” degree is absolutely useless and typically pursued by leftwing communists & low IQ applicants.

Teachers should have real degrees.

I earned an MBA (4.0GPA) and was an adjunct professor in my local university’s Business School...and never had a “Teacher’s degree”.
