From your linked source, (there's also a 2011 newspaper article link floating around among the sources),

In their Sept. 8, 2010, findings, the investigators concluded: “By deliberately differentiating herself, a black Jehovah’s Witness, and the previous principal, white and Jewish, in the context of a mandatory staff meeting addressing rumors and discussing hiring and upcoming changes in the school, Principal Hawkins offended multiple staff members.”

One, why is this still going on almost two years later? There was an investigation after her first year as principal, and they found against her.

Two, this "sensitivity training" is PC bulltwaddle no matter who gets "sent" ...... and judging by results, it did damn-all to get to and fix the real problem(s).

Three, note that this woman became principal in the year The Won took office ... <speculating> perhaps her much-testified-to big, fat attitude had something to do with that wondrous, unifying, post-racial event. </spec>

This quote in your source article by a complaining teacher was rather curious, and I wonder what the hell could be behind that? Keeping in mind that the speaker is a) a degreed female New York teacher, and therefore almost certifiably a hardcore Dim, and b) on top of that, a lower-level union official, which doubles-down the probability of her Dimliness.

It sounds as if certain people she's referring to in the educracy have a case of good-school envy and are out to "prove" something, by levelling the field through positive (not to say "affirmative") action:

Still, Giasemis doesn’t heap all the blame on Hawkins. “It’s the DOE’s doing,” said Giasemis. “They want to break the schools one school at a time.”

Now, what did she mean by that?

<OT>Just btw, chase a link and see what one rating teacher had to say about the principal of the Abraham Lincoln H.S. in the same district. Edna Cohen isn't the only school with a problem. </OT>
