The city Department of Education is so intent on firing a disabled teacher that it went to court two days before Christmas to terminate him.
Abraham Freud, who worked as a DOE special-ed teacher for 24 years, has become disabled himself, suffering from scoliosis and arthritis, making it impossible for him to physically handle a classroom of autistic students, he told The Post.
“I’m scared to lose my job and health benefits,” said Freud, 46, a father of four. “Just because I’m disabled doesn’t mean I’m garbage and should be thrown away.”
