He claimed to be a victim, but in truth, he appeared to be the instigator. I remember the incident that was cited in the report at a faculty meeting. He started attacking the principal in front of 75 teachers and wouldn't stop when he was asked too. At UFT meetings he was always the most vocal. He used the meetings to air his grievances with the administration, and if you didn't agree with him, then you were on his shit list, and labeled a traitor. He even viciously attacked a fellow teacher and UFT member on his blog who was elected the chapter leader at Manhattan Center. They were friends and taught in the same department. John Silvers claims to be a union guy, what a joke. He attacks anyone who doesn't agree with him or who exposes him like you did. He even attacked you Betsy on his May 20th post on his blog. <br /><br />I want to stay anonymous because if John Silvers knows my identity he will create a vicious post, on his blog, about me. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178330661968922056.post-6874116891785460732016-05-26T08:29:48.708-04:002016-05-26T08:29:48.708-04:00I would like to comment on the last post about Joh...I would like to comment on the last post about John Silvers. I'm really shocked after reading the 30/20a report on John Silvers. His harassment of AP Albetta is just astonishing. I can't believe that John Silvers actually called AP Albetta a "fucking faggot." Really? What kind of of teacher would use that type of homophobic, insensitive language? I think you called this one correct Betsy, John Silvers is a bully!!!! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178330661968922056.post-62207922773359002016-05-25T17:09:39.486-04:002016-05-25T17:09:39.486-04:00Is this Mr. Silvers' blog: https://jimenezfoll...Is this Mr. Silvers' blog: https://jimenezfollies.wordpress.com/2014/05/ ?Betsy Combierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854478415247528997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178330661968922056.post-53264139193212700692016-05-25T13:50:07.543-04:002016-05-25T13:50:07.543-04:00Betsy, Great work!

He even has his own blog in which he edits comments from his 30/20a hearing to make his case. But reading the whole unedited case really paints a clear picture of the fraud John Silvers is. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178330661968922056.post-37027951615275304982016-05-14T23:28:22.353-04:002016-05-14T23:28:22.353-04:00Thank you for your very candid article on the reig...Thank you for your very candid article on the reign of terror that Francesco Portelos and his gang of groupies have imposed on yourself and so many others. I experienced his venom personally when we welcomed him into the ATR Support Group on Facebook. His huge ego and tantrums were very disturbing. When things didn't go his way, he became belligerent, took all of his groupies, and left. Every one of his delegates seems to be programmed to act and think like him when faced with indifference to their Caucus, or when their actions or words are questioned. It is evident that they will stop at nothing to destroy by any means possible what they perceive to be a threat to their 'war' on the Dept. of Education The behavior you describe in your article is very accurate and indeed, bullying at its' finest. So sorry you have to deal with this type of treatment!Laurie Luftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178330661968922056.post-64093826544700744302016-05-11T18:46:25.134-04:002016-05-11T18:46:25.134-04:00Good work on this post, Betsy!
