Legendary blind gym teacher Steven Sloan may have lost his job over Listerine.
Sloan, 60, a popular coach hailed as a role model for overcoming his handicap, was yanked from PS 102 in Harlem after a parent setting up for a party last year complained she smelled booze on his breath. He claims it was the alcohol-based mouthwash.
His colleagues are outraged. Several recalled his obsession with cleanliness and hygiene, saying he rinsed religiously with Listerine.
“The DOE took an outstanding career and trashed it,” said teacher Lisa Ortiz.
Sloan, who was born with macular degeneration, brought glory to PS 102 when actor Tony Danza nominated him to carry a torch at the 2006 Olympics in Italy. Former principal Sandra Gittens, who worked with Sloan for 14 years, said he arrived early, ran after-school programs, volunteered for lunch duty and chaperoned class trips.
“The students respected him,” she recalled. “He cleared his throat — ahem — and everyone got into line. It was really amazing.”

Sounds like something an alcoholic would do.

Huge infraction. Administration couldn't turn a blind eye to this one.

I'm sure he will see his day in court over this.

He could probably get a job as an SEC official.

My kid has a blind dog named PinBall. She rearranges the furniture every night for our entertainment.

Better than rinsing his mouth out with a students semen which seems to be all the rage these days.

Sloan contends any odor on his breath likely came from swishing with Original Listerine, which has 26.9 percent alcohol, after a spicy lunch.
The city Department of Education charged Sloan with drinking on the job and sexual harassment because he had asked a group of moms that day, “Anybody want to go on a blind date?” Sloan said he used the joke to put people at ease about his disability. But in August, Sloan settled with the DOE by agreeing to retire.
Unreal. SJW's making a difference.

I am sure he was blindsided by the accusations of the parent.
