A former therapist at a Brooklyn public school claims in a lawsuit that he was fired for reporting another educator who instructed 300 students to recite the gangsta code “snitches get stitches” last November.
“I couldn’t believe my ears,” said Travis Lee Steinka, 35, a onetime occupational therapist at PS 257 in Williamsburg. “That goes against everything a school stands for.”
Steinka claims in the Manhattan civil court suit that Yolanda Valez, a paraprofessional, used the speaker system and microphone to deliver her street message in the cafeteria.
Valez copped to the stunt, the school’s principal, Brian Leavy-Devale, told The Post.
