The Department of Education has admitted that no one was monitoring trips students took with a black teacher's aide accused of filming child porn

African-American Taleek Brooks, suspected of videotaping himself abusing kids inside Public School 243 in Brooklyn, took members of an all-boys dance group to see movies like “Avatar” and “How to Train a Dragon” every month. Education Department spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz insisted that the dance group, the Freestylers, was part of an after-school program and not an official club, therefore not subject to city regulations or monitoring. But the after-school program, Madison Square Boys & Girls Club, denied that the dance group was under its purview, either. Brooks was arrested after FBI agents discovered images on his home computer of himself spanking a naked child and fondling a boy’s private parts in what appeared to be a classroom, FBI officials said. The 40-year-old, who frequently chaperoned school-sanctioned trips to places like Six Flags, said nothing during a brief court appearance. Brooks - who posted a disturbing photo of himself dressed as the Easter bunny with his arms around children - wrote on a school blog that he enjoyed taking kids to the movie nights. Some parents at the school suggested that principal Karen Hambright-Glover should have done more to prevent the abuse.
