I am seeking a GOOD LEGAL TEAM because



First day of orientation at Manuelito School, Gallup NM, August 2016
shop teacher puts a 12-inch hunting knife to the belly of the new mathematics teacher
A few hours earlier that same day at a meeting of the 6 school math teachers,
three large males in unison interrupted the new mathematics teacher
with extremely loud talk, like shouting,
when it was the new math teacher's turn to introduce himself.
Knowing this was a rude, intentional interruption,
the math teacher raised his voice over theirs and continued to talk.

Two of the shouting, interrupting large males were not math teachers
and apparently their only purpose for being at the math teachers' meeting
was to interrupt the math teacher, attempting to intimidate.
(one of these non-math-teacher-males was the shop teacher
who shortly put the 12-inch hunting knife to the belly of the new math teacher.)

When this shouting occurred,
6th grade math teacher debbie hall put her head down and wept.
When the new math teacher informed principal stevie wartgo of the knife incident, 
stevie smirked and replied that the shop teacher was
a "nice guy and was a deacon in his church."
The next week at the math teachers' meeting,
the new math teacher bumped his shoulder, side by side,
to the shoulder of the weeping, obviously stressed, debbie hall,
in an attempt to cheer her up (like a friendly fist bump).
The next morning the new math teacher was called to the principal's office
and informed that they were filing a sexual
harassment complaint against him for the encouraging shoulder bump.
He'd been there a full 2 weeks at that time and now had
a sexual harassment complaint for an encouraging shoulder bump.
When the new math teacher discussed this
with superintendent of personnel Dunkersloot,
Dunkersloot said to the new math teacher that
he "better not let it bother him
or it wouldn't work out too well for him."
It did bother him and eventually, after much stress and effort,
he got that superintendent to email to the principal
that they would not pursue the complaint, for lack of evidence.
From day one, the principal was rude and hostile to the new math teacher,
harassing him in his classroom often multiple times per day,
and repeatedly calling the new math teacher to the principal's office
for a threatening scolding. 
The first week, the principal came to the new math teacher's room
and scolded him for improperly arranging the desks in groups,
"contrary to all educational theory." 
Then the principal escorted the new teacher to other classrooms
to observe various appropriate ways of arranging desks.
They went to a classroom where the teacher had the desks arranged
EXACTLY the way the new teacher had arranged his desks
and the principal held it forth as an excellent example.
This "Taming of The Shrew" behavior by the principal was repeated many times,
possibly, as in the Shakespeare play, to break the will, spirit and morale of the teacher
by being constantly irrational and unreasonable
and behaving madly in his position of authority.

Ms. Singh, a senior teacher's aide, who worked in the new math teacher's classroom every day,
and said that she'd been at Manuelito School since it was built,
encouraged the new math teacher to go to district and file a grievance,
and that he would get the help he needed to deal with the principal's abuse.  
  When the new math teacher was at district for another purpose,
he asked to speak to a superintendent for an "intervention,"
(which is education talk for assistance) regarding the principal's abuse.
In other words, the teacher did not want to raise it to the level of a grievance,
but just wanted a professional to intervene.
The following Sunday the principal came to the teacher's classroom
where the teacher spent many weekend hours preparing
and threatened the teacher with a reprimand for insubordination for speaking to district.
The principal stayed so long and behaved so hostile
that the teacher had to grab his things and leave the classroom
to prevent the situation from escalating to shouting and possible physical altercation.
However, the principal stalked and harangued the new teacher all the way down the stairs
and all the way to his vehicle where they continued energetic discussion
for another 20 to 30 minutes at the teacher's vehicle.
Of course, the teacher got no preparation work done that day.
On that day the principal told the teacher he would not get a 2-week vacation.
So, already in September,
the principal was determined to fire the new teacher,
and he did so by the end of October (the 2-week vacation being Christmas).
One of the students whose parents were close to the principal
repeatedly said out loud to the teacher in the classroom,
"the principal is going to fire you."
The teacher had spoken to the district union representative about the situation before,
and called him again after this very serious Sunday incident,
and asked him to file a grievance.
The union representative said it wasn't time for that yet,
and the teacher wondered just how bad it would have to get for action.

The harassment continued unabated, continuously. 
The teacher informed the principal that, on informal legal advice,
the teacher did not want to have ANY contact at all with debbie hall
other than the minimum that was absolutely necessary to do his job.
Really, there was no reason for the two to ever meet at all
since they could conduct any required communication via email.
However, the principal dug his heels in and challenged the teacher
to present the legal advice and
FORCED the teacher to meet continuously with debbie hall
in meetings that were simply draining and stressful.

There was an important statewide test toward the end of October.
The new teacher had to go to district the night before
for a new teacher training event,
so the next morning he and 3 other teachers were in his classroom
doing final preparations for the statewide test that day,
and debbie hall was one of them,
though she wasn't supposed to be in the new teacher's classroom at all, ever,
after her frivolous sexual harassment complaint.
The new teacher was covering with butcher paper
all the math posters that he had bought. 
When he was on the final wall and about 5 minutes from completion,
the two other teachers left the room,
and immediately debbie hall ripped the remaining math posters off the wall
and tossed them on the floor.
The new math teacher sent an email to the union representative the next day about that incident,
and the union representative filed a grievance against debbie hall.
The teacher in the room next to the new teacher,
who was appointed as his "advisor teacher"
scolded the new teacher and said "it wasn't funny"
as if he was a little boy doing a prank by filing the grievance which,
by the way, the union rep did without his knowledge.
Then, this teacher's "mother died."
Maybe it was true, maybe not,
but it got her a leave of absence for a week or two
so she didn't have to answer questions
about that morning when she was there
when the math teacher was covering his posters with butcher paper,
not tearing them down and tossing them on the floor.
Incidentally, the first week of school, the principal sent many emails to staff
that he had "money to burn," but not on textbooks.
The math teacher was given a room with bare walls
and he needed interesting, decorative, educational math posters,
but the principal would not purhase them,
so the math teacher spent $200 or $300 purchasing them on his own.
A week later, in a stunning move,
they "found" a note for a student in the math teacher's trash can,
they said,
that looked like it was printed by the math teacher.
Within a week they terminated the math teacher for not having a credential yet,
even though he did get one on time,
even though the principal wartgo was doing all he could to prevent that.
That is, the math teacher was receiving his mail at the school,
and that included all the transcripts ordered from a dozen schools.
But only ONE transcript mattered.
That was from the college that issued his B.A., UC Davis.
Inexplicably, 11 transcripts showed up, but that one never did.
Hmmm.
Luckily, suspecting sabotage/theft by the principal
the math teacher hastily ordered a rush transcript to be sent directly to district.

These facts need to be investigated and presented in a Court of Law.
The public education department of the State of New Mexico
needs to be informed of this situation and these events
and more that were covered up.
