      XPost: soc.culture.african.american, alt.education, alt.politics.democrats       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: democrat-insurrection@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2024/09/28/us-news/nyc-school-superintendent-abruptly-       ousted-after-being-accused-of-abuse-vowing-no-more-white-principals/              The superintendent of Staten Island public schools was abruptly removed       from her post amid ongoing accusations of lashing out against staff and       vowing “No more white principals,” The Post has learned.              Marion Wilson, who led District 31 schools for three and a half years, was       swept out of her office on Sept. 20, and told to report to the Department       of Education’s Tweed headquarters in Manhattan.              Wilson “will be transitioning to a central team,” Danika Rux, deputy       chancellor for school leadership, said Monday in an internal announcement,       without any explanation for the swift and stunning ouster.              Sources said she will keep her $230,000 salary and serve as “facilitator”       in the Leaders in Education Apprenticeship Program (LEAP), which prepares       teachers to become principals with a focus on racial equity.              DOE officials refused to explain Wilson’s removal, but a school insider       said she was caught on tape denouncing district employees.              https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/sunday-news-text-       messages-sent-90516302_a8d828.jpg?resize=753,1024&quality=75&strip=all              “She apparently went off on a Zoom or Teams call demeaning her own       principals and staffers, and didn’t know she was unmuted,” the insider       said.              Wilson is also dogged by accusations she has made racially offensive       comments.              Last year, the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools was       asked to investigate widely circulated screenshots of texts purportedly       written by Wilson.              “No more white principals on my watch!” said one text.              “I need to clean up this island,” another reads.              https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/sunday-news-       pictured-principal-heather-       90516310.jpg?resize=588,1024&quality=75&strip=all              Jansen claimed in a pending race-discrimination lawsuit against the DOE       that Wilson unfairly removed her as principal of mid-island PS 46 in June       2023.       Obtained by The New York Post       “White folks need to recognize this is not the boys club anymore. A strong       black woman runs this bitch now, and they can either get on board or get       out.”              Wilson filed a police report claiming she received threats stemming from       “false accusations” that she wrote the texts.              The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force said it would investigate, and gave       Wilson a police escort for some time. “The investigation is ongoing,” an       NYPD spokesman said Friday.              https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/sunday-news-text-       messages-sent-90516318_a579bd.jpg?resize=544,1024&quality=75&strip=all              The SCI closed its case several months later after the texts came to       light, saying investigators failed to identify who wrote them, a       spokesperson told The Post.              Since then, recordings have emerged purportedly catching Wilson making       racially charged remarks to black parents, according to a complainant who       sent audio clips to the The Post.              “I said no more white principals. I meant it,” a woman the complainant       identified as Wilson says in one recording. In another, she says, “Us       black folks got to stick together. Ain’t nobody helping us.”              The SCI says it did not investigate the recordings, but referred them to       the DOE’s Office of Equal Opportunity.              “The cases involving these allegations were not substantiated,” said DOE       spokesman Nathaniel Styer.              Wilson did not return a request for comment on the recordings.              Meanwhile, a white principal, Heather Jansen, claims in a pending       discrimination lawsuit against the DOE that Wilson unfairly removed her as       principal of PS 46 in June 2023.              “She probably didn’t know what hit her when they pulled her white ass       out,” Wilson allegedly texted, according to a screenshot Jansen submitted       as evidence.              In January, Jansen told the judge she filed a police report claiming she       was threatened by a man who showed up at her home in Monroe Township, NJ,       and warned, “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll drop the case against       Marion.”              Monroe Township detectives were unable to identify a suspect, a spokesman       said this week.              Wilson leaves the Staten Island community with mixed feelings about her       tenure.              “Nobody saw this coming. Nobody wanted it,” said Liz Cianfrone, a       volunteer family advocate who works for students with special needs and       their parents.              Cianfrone praised Wilson as a “role model, inspiration and true advocate       for children,” saying she helped kids and tackled problems that other       district officials ignored.              “In her three years as superintendent, I have only known Dr. Wilson to be       professional with me and my staff and an ally for our public schools and       an advocate for students, parents, and teachers,” said State Assemblyman       Michael Reilly, who added he doesn’t know why she was removed.              But Wilson made such a concerted effort to fill vacancies with Black       administrators, some principals say, it drove other candidates to leave       the district.              “Race was the most important criteria in selecting professionals on her       team,” one said.                     --       We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
