Bob,
If you're not resigned to being [censored], which it seems like you aren't, I still vote for going over TAP's head.

well, i am attempting to schedule a meeting with the principal and TAP. at this point i cannot think of any reason for being treated this way, other than that it is something personal. i intend to find out what is behind this.

No, no, no. This is the most sure-fire way to ensure you end up with the [censored] schedule and/or burn all your bridges and wind up teaching somewhere else.
First you need to talk to the Cryer face-to-face and ask/beg for her to give you the AP Physics class in exchange for the regular Chem. and Physics/Freshman. You've said yourself she is emotional and wants to feel loved, for god's sake use this knowledge, play to her insecurities and make her feel like she'll be loved if she helps you out.
If she agrees you might be able to leverage her compromise into convincing the New Guy to take a couple Freshman quarters off your hands in exchange for regular Physics.
Then and only then do you go to the administration with the a new schedule that the three of you teachers have agreed upon.
Also, it's entirely possible your being shafted just because you were gone. The ol' out of sight, out of mind. TTWC and TNG might have put these class schedule requests in while you were gone and the administration just stamped them through since they'd forgetten about you. And even if TAP is really out to get you confronting her and her boss will do absolutely nothing to improve your situation. It will just make her dislike you even more and give the new principal a bad impression of you.
