High school teachers fired for half-naked lesbian classroom tryst get their jobs back

Rest easy, America, because a state appeals court has ruled that New York City's Department of Education had no right to fire two female foreign language instructors at Brooklyn's James Madison High School for getting busy in a classroom one steamy night way back in 2009. The instructors involved in the raunchy rendezvous are Spanish teacher Alina Brito, 34, and French teacher Cindy Mauro, 38. At some point, they stole away to a dimly lit Room 337 at James Madison High for a quick romp. An unidentified janitor who had no appreciation for live teacher-on-teacher classroom action caught the couple in the act and made a report to school officials.

(Blank Headline Received)By Lanre Ola MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Nigeria's northeasterly Borno state has ordered all of its schools to shut to protect children after Islamists killed dozens of pupils in an attack last month, an official from the state Education Ministry and several parents said on Friday. Security officials said the militant Boko Haram group had shot or burned to death at least 29 pupils in a boarding school in northeast Nigeria, although a journalist who counted bodies in the morgue after the attack put the figure at 59. "All public and private schools have been directed by the state ministry of education to end their second-term academic calendar latest this week," said a senior official in the ministry who declined to be named. Boko Haram, the militant group's widely used nickname, means "Western education is forbidden".
