Showing Original Post only (View all)Youre fired!: NY school board chair opens a massive can of whoopass on Trump racist Carl Paladino [View all]
Carl Paladino was ousted Thursday by the Buffalo, New York School Board following a racist tirade on Michelle Obama. But during the hearing, School Board President Barbara Seals Nevergold didnt hold back in her criticism of the Donald Trump campaign co-chair.
Words matter, Mr. Paladino, she said during the meeting, which Paladino did not attend. Our president, the Commander in Chief of this nation for the last eight years, Mrs. Obama, our First Lady, and Mrs. Valerie Jarrett, special presidential council are all African-Americans. Among other things, they are accomplished, intelligent, beautiful people and thats not just my opinion.
But under Paladino, Nevergold said that they were reduced to criminals, frauds or gorillas.
The impact on children of color, especially African-American children is incalculable, she continued. How do we encourage them to use their God-given talents to soar, to reach for the stars, when a sitting board member responsible for their education demonstrates such contempt of their role models?
