Open Letter To "Anonymous" Defender of Little Philip Oliveri

Earlier this morning someone with too much time on their hands, and someone that believes chivalry is still alive in this world came to the defense of Little Philip Oliveri. How Oedipal. Anyhoo, this person seems to have forgotten that one should not speak before one has the facts. So I shall retort by breaking down said human beings post whilst giving a lesson on when to be seen and not heard.

"I am astonished by the extent that you will go to smear a good man's name."

Shouldn't you be more astonished, appalled at how the DOE under Klein/Bloomberg have systematically attacked teachers, particularly teachers over forty years old, teachers that have been teaching for over fifteen years. The waste of money making teachers sit in the Rubber Room? Yes, there are teachers that belong there, that are a danger to children. But to put a teacher there because of trumped up charges, because the principal feels threatened by a teacher's knowledge is that not more appalling? I know teachers who have been sent to the Rubber Room for having a Coca Cola in their hand, teachers that have gotten U ratings after 25 years of exemplary service. Administrators that have lied, have perjured themselves does not bother you? Little Philip Oliveri is an enabler of these administrators. Why does that not astonish you?

"You even resort to surfing the Internet for old postings to use against him."

Do you have proof that I surfed the Internet? If you do proof it, if not retract this statement. As far as old postings, what would Little Philip do if he found a similar "old" posting about a teacher that he was prosecuting? What's that you say? Yes, of course he would use it faster than you can say Joel Klein eats worms. But don't you find if somewhat unprofessional that an assistant district attorney would write such vile, misogynistic, lurid things. Show such disregard to a human beings plight as Little Philip did on that Friendster page? For years you read how that if you are in a high profile position, or looking for a job, to keep what you write about yourself on social network sites clean and safe. Obviously Little Philip failed to heed such advice, perhaps out of some sense of entitlement.

"If you question Mr. Oliveri's legal prowess, then watch him in action."

I did. It was a circus act. He allowed perjured testimony and was not aware of how the following witness would testify. Also, he needed Sith Lord Marvin Pope to hold his hand. I can go upstate right now find a cow pasture and get a better lawyer than Little Philip.

"In doing so, everyone soon realizes what an intelligent, quick-witted and resourceful man he is."

Wrong, everyone is realizing what a tool he is.

"The DOE is lucky to have him."

I hope the DOE keeps him. Let him keep on prosecuting teachers. After what was witnessed last week every teacher will be exonerated with Little Philip on the case.

Little Philip Oliveri and Internet Decorum

I think the first lesson one gets in Internet 101 is don't post anything on the Internet that you wouldn't want anyone else to see.

Which brings us to Little Philip Oliveri. Seems Little Philip's Friendster page shows us what Little Philip thinks of himself and others. Let's take a look at it:




As one can see, Philip obviously sees people with weight problems as some kind of comic relief, people to be mocked. Obviously he looks down on people with weight problems. Does this mean that as an attorney he is biased? What would happen if he had a client who was overweight? Would Little Philip represent this person to the fullest? Would he snicker behind such a person's back? This is so not right on Little Philip's part. Shame on you Little Philip.

But wait, look right under the link, what do you see? A word spelled out to be "PIMP." According to Webster's a pimp is defined as: " a man who solicits clients for a prostitute." Is this a night job Philip has, or is it some type of misogynistic view he has of women? Look under the photo, Little Philip says he likes a "nice pair of bitch tits." Is this what Little Philip thinks of women, as bitches?

But wait, there is more!

Little Philip lists his affiliations as "The Smut Hut." What is the Smut Hut? Obviously he is into pornography since he lists Playboy After Dark as one of his favorite TV shows and wishes to meet Jenna Jameson and Briana Banks. Not to mention that he claims that he is a "skin flick director" as an occupation. Just so sickening, so unprofessional.

But this quote seems to sum up Little Philip the best: "Really, almost anyone...but if you think (or people tell you) that you are an anusface, dingleberry, or turdcutter, don't waste my time."

Hey Little Philip, that is real professional. How quick would you use any of the above information against a teacher? In a nanosecond! Wait, you mean it is taken all out of context? Think about it when you prosecute teachers.

One last thing. Under hobbies, Little Philip lists Dungeons and Dragons (D & D). Explains a lot!

Ethically Challenged Attorneys

So there I was today sitting in section 209 at that monstrosity they call Yankee Stadium. Yes, I am a HUGE Yankees fan, but this stadium, it was not needed. So I am in the heat, sun beating down on me and thinking about something that blogger Chaz commented on in my post about Little Philip Oliveri. Chaz was right on the money when he said:

The DOE's 3020-a lawyers don't last very long prosecuting teachers. It is very hard to win when the evidence against the teacher is embellished, twisted, and perverted by the DOE administrators. The result is the DOE lawyer is reduced to character assassination and the Arbitrators roll their eyes. Eventually, the DOE lawyers either quit or are fired. It is a sleazy job that does not allow for long-term employment.

Well said, point taken.

So here I am at the game today thinking about this, and it occurs to be that lawyers have this thing called ethics. In fact they are spelled out very clearly and have just been revised by the New York State Bar Association. It seems to me that these lawyers that the DOE hires have a ethical responsibility to the law that precludes them from using testimony and witnesses that they know are lying. And lying also means stretching the truth.

So I researched and came across the New York State Bar Association Professional Standards for Attorneys and came across some interesting tidbits, or as one could say "ethics abnormalities."

So if we look at the Rules of Professional Conduct we come across rule 1.16 sec a and it reads:

"A lawyer shall not accept employment on behalf of a person if the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that such person wishes to bring legal action, conduct a defense, or assert a position in a matter or otherwise have steps taken for such person, merely for the purpose of harassing or maliciously injuring any person."

Think Little Philip and Sith Lord Marvin Pope are following this? No.

There is also rule 3.3 sec a paragraph 3;

"Offer of use evidence that the lawyer knows to be false......"

Again, Little Philip knows, so does Sith Lord Marvin Pope knows that the evidence they have against David Pakter is a crock of crap.

So there we have it. Little Philip in his desperation to live up to Daddy's ideals has sold himself out and become nothing more than a dine store floosy so he can have some career advancement and sold out his ethics so he can feel like a big man. Sith Lord Marvin Pope should go back to following ambulances. So what does one do about ethically challenged attorneys? One reports them? In my honest opinion there is enough to on both of these "attorneys" to file ethics complaints with the New York State Bar. Perhaps it is even time to turn the tables and file ethic complaints on any and all 3020a prosecuting attorneys. Wait, Joel Klein is an attorney is he not? Hmmmmm. I wonder..................

Little Philip Joseph Oliveri Esq.

Philip Oliveri, and mind you, that is "Philip" with one L is one of the DOE's lawyers that prosecutes teachers in 3020a hearings. I happened to catch Little Philip in action during a 3020a hearing yesterday of David Pakter. For those who don't know, I will explain in a later post, David Pakter has been brought up on charges that he bought plants for the school, and wanted to give watches to students who had a 90 or above average. You can read more at NYC Rubber Room Reporter.

It was almost surreal watching Philip in action yesterday. What was most surprising is how young Little Philip is. When the crack team here at SBSB looked into his background it was even more appalling.

Little Philip, 29 years old, has been practicing law for only three years. Maybe not even that long. He was admitted to the New York State Bar in 2006. Originally he was hired by the Bronx District Attorney's office in 2004 right out of Syracuse Law. But why is he not in the Bronx DA's office anymore? Was it that he couldn't cut it?

It appears that this child of privilege, this child of Greenwich, CT likes to go after the little people. Perhaps never having once in his life having to attain something for himself he feels that to make him feel like a big man he must be a prosecutor. To screw over people's lives as he is David Pakter.

But hold on just a moment. Why would this well to do scion of Greenwich, CT choose to work for a pittance the DOE surely would pay him? Little Philip is employed by the international law firm of Stuart Hodge. Or can Little Philip afford to have such a low salary because he knows that Daddy will always be there for him and his bills?

I think he is in the same position as his Sith Lord Mentor Marvin Pope. Marvin, like Little Philip according to the New York State Unified Court System records does not appear to be employed by the DOE. Sith Lord Marvin Pope is a self employed attorney.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to have in house counsel working these cases for the DOE? How much is the DOE paying Little Philip and Sith Lord Marvin Pope? Have these two ever been sanctioned by the bar? I doubt Little Philip has, he hasn't been practicing law long enough and if there were a case I am sure Daddy will call in some chits. But Sith Lord Marvin Pope surely has practiced long enough to earn the moniker, "Scheister," or "Gonoff."

What qualifies Little Philip to prosecute teachers? What qualifies Little Philip to practice law?

Who Is Wendy DelValle?

In the latest of Mayor Bloomberg's propaganda commericals that are infiltrated with Kool-Aid drinkers, one teacher mindlessly reads of the cue card, "New York City public school system is better under Mike Bloomberg." That teacher is Wendy DelValle of Brooklyn High School for the Arts. By the way if you ask me, the descendents of Third Reich propaganda chief, Josef Goebbels are probaby producing such said commercials.

Looke here:


Anywhoo, who is Wendy DelValle? She does not show up in the New York State Education search for Cerificate Holders. How can that be? Is she a teacher there? Suppsoedly Ms DelValle is a biology teacher at BHSA, yet the clasasroom she is in is clearly not a science or even a biology clasroom.

But BHSA must be a great high school you say to yourself because a Mayor Bloomberg would only allow those from top schools to spew forth propaganda for him. I think Mayor Bllomber's propaganda people might have messed up.

Brooklyn High School for the Arts seems some what lacking
. In the last year reporting, 2008-2009 only six percent of students scored above 85% on the "Living Environment" on the Regents Exam. In fact on the Regents Compentency exam, only 19% of students passed the exam. Sorry, this is not impressive.

But looking at hte school's report card for the last year avaialble, 2008-2009 the school need not meet its AYP in ELA among African-American students, and economically disadvantaged students? Is this not a school that Mayor Bloomberg is highlighting by the aquiesencing of Ms DelValle? In fact only 54% of students are at levels 3-4. This is unacceptable for a high school. Students leave high school and go inot the real world. How does this high school get students ready for such a world when 54% are at 3's and 4's?

Randi Weingarten's Lies

Sorry about the lack of blogging. In my last had entitled, "Randi Weingartens Testicle's," I had promised to reveal some of Randi Weingarten's empty promises, or as I like to call them, lies.

Back when I started this blog, I blogged this about a student on September 12. Now mind you, this is two weeks into the school year. I received this email from Ms Weingarten in response to the blog posting:

Wow! Randi is coming to the rescue! I mean I already knew what was going on. Now Randi knows! Yippee! But I told her to hold off because I did not want to go over my chapter leader's head.

November 3rd comes, the situation is getting worse and I get this email from Randi:

You are absolutely right that I read it and I have asked what school. If you told me, I missed it. Now I am asking again. I want to visit. Randi

Notice the key words there? "I want to visit." Wow! A state visit to our little school. But is it to be? Was it to be? Well, we need to wait for tomorrow's episode to find out more. Tune in!

Oh why am I doing this? Because Randi is not a labor leader. Nor will Mulgrew be. Simple.
