A Long Island educator says he was labeled a racist and fired for enforcing academic eligibility requirements for student athletes.

Students who are failing two or more classes are ineligible for sports, teacher Robert Cincotta, who served as athletic director for the predominantly black Hempstead school district between 2005 and 2013, said in a Brooklyn federal lawsuit.

In February 2013, he began checking grades for all the kids participating in winter sports in the district, such as basketball, wrestling and indoor track, and informing coaches of who would not be allowed to play

and you may want to reconsider blacks on baseball teams. No telling what they will do when you tell them to “take the field”.

Hempstead High has a 41% graduation rate so I'm surprised any student was allowed to play on a team.

We need more money for education, please cut defense again.

By the way I never met a retarded military service man.

Cincotta is seeking unspecified damages in his discrimination claim against the district, which declined to comment.

This case is a slam dunk...

The guy gets fired for enforcing the school's rules regardless of race..

Taxpayer gets the green weenie...

Rare, but they do exist. For example, General Wesley Clark, the imbecile Democrat (but I repeat myself) who nearly started World War III.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

yup, they might think you want them to pick cotton

[9YearLurker]

Disparate impact dontcha know.

[tbw2]

Wasn’t that the whole point of no pass no play, to encourage the kids to keep passing?

[Paladin2]

Never discuss anything baseball related to “swing”.

[Paladin2]

Hempstead used to be a center of Ivy League recruitment. DeCommieo’s fault.

[Eagles6]

Yeah but it’s having a “disparate impact”.

I don’t know, butterbars are pretty close...
