Let Me Explain

I am posting two videos today. They provide the best explanation of my charges about corruption within the New York City school system.
I wish to make it clear that the difficulties I have encountered in trying to get these charges investigated stem from corruption in the middle management level of city government. People in the Chancellor’s Office, the Corporation Counsel, District 75’s Central Office and other agencies have helped protect the individual who assaulted the students and me. They also worked overtime to prevent any and all inquiries into the subsequent cover-ups.
Chancellor Klein had promised a thorough investigation into the brutality I and the students experienced. An inquiry was indeed started. However, just as clear evidence of substantial wrongdoing was established, people on the chancellor’s staff quietly put an end to the investigation.
An unfortunate outcome of this manipulation was that the chancellor thought that nothing had been established concerning my allegations. As a result Chancellor Klein was put in the embarrassing position of promoting the person at the center of this inquiry to the post of Deputy Superintendent of District 75 in spite of all the unanswered questions into his trustworthiness.

The first is an introduction into the scandal:
Such Sheninigans !
The second provides some of the necessary documentation of my charges:
Hibernians and Corruption in City Government</

There is lots of documentation to be found on this site. I will be willing to direct any reader to the specific places where an item is documented.

I will also be glad to answer any questions you might have.

So leave a comment or a question and I will get back to you.

Also, people have asked that I detail the nature of my assaults and the brain injuries I suffered. I have tried to discuss it on camera, but find it much too strong and overwhelming for me to discuss in a professional manner at this time.
Fortunately, my late partner, Al, put together a PowerPoint presentation using my medical records.

What Happened to Larry Hayes, by Al Cashdollar

He finished it shortly before he died.

When he relized the danger I was wandering around the city lost in the dementia brought on by the TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury, he gave up full-time work to take care of me.
He went through bankrupcy because of me and the stress of setback after setback brought on coronary problems, then diabetes, and eventually death. He dropped dead trying to dress me one morning.

Homophobia

Now the teacher that assaulted me had already been quite hostile toward me for some while.
e.g. He refused to acknowledge my greetings.
Refused to answer any of my questions
Turned away if I tried to speak to him.
Spoke of me in the third person in my presence.

After all, he felt that it was I who took away the funds that were allocated for his computers and other supplies. (Never mind that it was I who had brought numerous complaints about Kevin McCormack’s misallocation of student funds) He was convinced that somehow I had gotten his funds for MY students.

Further, the computers that had been taken from my computer lab and placed into his classroom kept having problems. Students, for example, had set up little programs that played obscene sounds whenever certain keys were touched. The students were not properly supervised at the computers and they kept needing repairs – most of these repairs were done by me on my own time.

He accused me of giving him my broken computers, even though it was Beverley Kolstein at the District Office who decided what computers were to be taken from my computer lab to make up for the computers that never appeared thanks to Kevin McCormack’s knack of redirecting money meant to go to the students into his own projects, such as refurbishing his office or getting new executive chairs for all the people assigned to out-of-classroom positions under his watch.

But what really sent Michael Hicks over the top – besides the illegal steroids he had been using to “bulk up” - was the great humiliation I caused him at a social gathering I did not even attend.

There was a staff party just before spring break in 1996. Apparently Mr. Hicks was intoxicated. He began making passes at a young teacher, Deidre Mc Gowan. She gingerly fended him off several times. Finally, he screamed at her: “Oh, I forgot you are one of Mr. Hayes’ Bi**ches!”
Many of the women nearby started to laugh at him. And the more he asked them why they were laughing the more they cracked up and would not tell him. Finally, one woman said to him: “Michael, don’t you know Mr. Hayes is Gay?”

The women started laughing at him again. He assumed that because I was supportive of younger teachers, I was doing it to have my way with them!

After, vacation he began stalking and harassing me. When he began using his students to yell at me, I went to the administration. Kevin McCormack did nothing even though getting students involved in bickering violated school policy.

A group of African-American men also complained to Mr. McCormack that Michael Hicks had been referring to me as “Mr. Hayes… that white fa**ot.” He assumed that other black men would not find his racist homophobic comments insulting.

During the first assault in April, Michael Hicks kept silently mouthing the word “Fa**ott” over and over.

Eric Scapetta, the ADA at Robert Morgenthau’s Office refused to consider the possibility that my assaults were hate crimes after Kevin McCormack had poisoned the waters and accused me of being the one who was racially motivated.
