A tenured Queens math teacher confessed that he spit on a rowdy student — only because the pupil shoved chewed gum into his mouth, according to a new lawsuit.
David Pecararo, a 29-year veteran teacher and an outspoken union leader, was pulled from the classroom after a video caught him arguing and spitting on a student last February.
Pecararo hit the Department of Education with a lawsuit for threatening his termination from Beach Channel HS and leaking the video to YouTube, documents show.
Pecararo insists the student “engaged in severe misbehavior,” which he says explains the spitting spat, according to court papers.
The student allegedly put a wad of gum on the teacher’s rear end, then forced it into his mouth, causing Pecararo “to spit it out immediately.”
