Peter Melzer
Peter Melzer was a physics teacher at Bronx High School who was reassigned to a desk job because of his role as a NAMBLA leader. School officials began hearing from angry parents after he appeared in a television report on the group. Melzer has also written articles for NAMBLA's newsletter about fundraising and civil rights. Melzer said, "Anyone who ever spends time in a teacher's lunchroom can hear comments from men and women teachers who are attracted to students. If we're going to start examining what everyone's private outlook is, there'll be no one left to teach." Ron Davis, a spokesman for the United Federation of Teachers, said that "it's the position of the union that this is where you draw the line."[1] Melzer readily admitted that he is a boy lover, and is attracted to boys up to the age of about 16.[2]
