Defamtion of Character?

[sayville]

I am not familiar with your lingo Jetx, but I am assuming OP is me
and if you are so tired of this post, why not simply ignore it like most people do with your comments


and seniorjudge, what questions have I not answered?

You were arrested for DUI. As a teacher, your employer took the proper, and expected, action and suspended you.

You have since whined, bitched and moaned about YOUR problem.... and seem intent to somehow spin this to your being the victim of some 'defamation' 'conspiracy'. I can see why they fired you.

You can piss and whine all you want on this forum, but it will NOT resolve your problem. The ONLY REAL option you have was in my post yesterday:
"If you want, talk with a local attorney who might be able to review ALL of the facts and advise you of what, if any, options you might have."

I do not understand why you brought up child porno. Would you please explain that?

I do not understand it either. Being arrested for a DUI should in no way implicate their necessity to remove personal floppy disks from desk and remove their computers and ask a colleague if she ever removed anything from my desk.
As stated earlier, I think when they reaalized they had nothing on me, they started to dig for anything they could.
What else could they have been looking for? A male school teacher and searching disks and computers.
There is absolutely no connection to that and being arrested for a DUI.

AND Jetx I was not fired, they offered me to go out on disability, to make the situation go away. I gladly accepted because my reputation had been tarnished at my school and I had no desire to ever work again for that county.

Is it standard practice in your school to put the employee on leave with pay in response to a DUI arrest?

Did the timing of the DUI arrest indicate you were under the influence of something while you were WORKING?

The administration was required to give you written notice of suspension… what did that notice say?

Did you accept the suspension without asking for an immediate hearing before the board?

In one of your posts you wrote: “…teaching assistant arrived early and saw 2 county office searching desk…”. Two county WHAT? Was it school officials or cops?

If the admin had any reason to think you were under the influence while at work, it seems reasonable for them to suspend you with pay pending an investigation. Why then, would they need to go looking for anything further to justify the suspension?

It sounds to me like the news of your arrest kicked someone’s imagination into high gear. Within a few short hours there were probably some who decided you are a serial killing pedophile terrorist. People forgot that crazy American principal of innocent till proven guilty and all regard for your rights went out the window as they sought proof of your twisted double life!

What action have you taken to object to the way this matter was handled? What explanation was given to you when you voiced your objection?

You are so "OFF THE BEATING PATH" Megan. Your questions are really moot.

I knew there was a reason I avoided this thread
Meniere's disease, which you should know how to spell if you have it to the point of disability, should not affect your driving ability although it may affect your ability to pass a field sobriety test. If you got out of your DUI based on that you also open yourself up to the other implications that go with playing the undeclared disability card and the issue of driving and/or teach while impaired.

The school owns the computers and anything you do while using them, there is no violation involved. They could have examined your computers at any time. Now you have played the disability card, they are well within their rights to investigate your claim since it affects your ability to teach and their risk in various ways, all of which they are mandated to protect. You are reacting like a guilty person, with something to hide, rather than a person with a disability. If you really had Meniere's disease, no doubt you would have been claiming problems from it for some time. Guess what? They may request information about your medical record, you will be asked to sign waivers and your refusal to sign them will play a role in how all this turns out.

So your slick DUI defense may have caused you more problems than you think and your disability claim may also be denied even though you got off your DUI based on it, which will leave them with grounds for dismissal that your union will have no grounds to fight. Your stellar past will have little effect on your future unless there is substantial documentationthat you indeed have a qualified disability. I suggest you read up on ADA accommodations and disability law while you are not working.

Please note that OP has never explained this.

Paradise I've never taken "The Beating Path" anywhere before...I'm not into S & M.

Forgive me but I didn't know there was a rule against taking an interest in what happened. Nor did I know that YOU are the sole judge of what is relevant.

It’s very hard not knowing what I don’t know.
