A New York school superintendent and avid backer of critical race theory was voted out by his school board this week. The decision was taken after anger from parents boiled over on Martin Cox’s plan for a diversity task force coupled with their displeasure on how he handled other duties.
Critical race theory critic Christopher Rufo raised the story on Twitter, stating: "A school board in Rockland County, New York, forces the resignation of superintendent Martin Cox, who was pushing for a critical race theory-based curriculum."
Local reporter Samantha Crawford, who was present when Cox was voted out as superintendent, corroborated the story Tuesday night. The vote by the Clarkstown Board of Education in Rockland County voted in favor of his dismissal five to one.
"I wish our students the very best with all their educational endeavors, both now and in the future. In addition, I am thankful for our teachers, staff, and administrators, whose daily efforts make a positive impact for students," Cox said in a departing statement. He concluded his affairs with the board Wednesday.
A litany of leadership calls cited a lack of proper air conditioning, COVID policies, and a Black Lives Matter presentation gone awry as the other reasons for his removal.

It’s going to be a Good Friday after all!
As a NY friend told me. It is the big cities that vote that way. The rest of NY doesn’t feel that way. Much like NC and many states where the cities are blue and the rural areas are red. Not enough votes to overcome the cities population.
CRT is Marxism that uses racial hatred rather than class envy.
Good for the parents - thrown that sh*t OUT.
yes, that is generally true, but these are parents- in NEW YORK CITY.
Good for them!
My guess is that he is floating softly to Earth via a huge golden parachute.
Excellent.
Hopefully this is just a start.
I don’t know about this guy’s background but I do know that school boards everywhere seem to always hire superintendents from somewhere else rather than developing from within the local ranks.
And they insist on hiring candidates with Phd’s which is often a mistake. Phd’s are not needed, just as masters are not necessary for classroom teachers.
