There were many new books and some very old too. It was utter laziness that caused them to throw them away.

I don't know what kind of condition the books were in, but if there was any mold it was the right thing to do.

Gee, I grabbed a bunch of books while the students were chucking them....I don't have cancer...and incidentally many of them were fairly new! Guess what...no one will be held accountible for throwing away many perfectly good books. DCPS will never improve because no one really gives a damn!

But don't you see? That's more money that can be spent on things instead of educating. How else do you expect DC to spend so much money per pupil with so little to show for it?

Another biohazard in libraries: Smallpox

See http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/exlibris/2004/01/msg00009.html

Other hazards include getting crushed by falling books, dust allergies from ill-maintained facilities, and hernias from lifting books, which Mr. Ezeagu cleverly avoided by having students lift all the discarded books.
If your quote is accurate, Mr. Ezeagu is on the verge of another hazard: practicing medicine without a license. Perhaps he can provide footnotes?
