School Superintendent Resigns After Parents Disagree with Critical Race Theory in Curriculum
Breitbart ^ | 19 Sep 2021 | AMY FURR

Dr. Martin Cox resigned as superintendent of Clarkstown Central School in Rockland County, New York, following parent concerns over Critical Race Theory being used in curriculum.

In a statement, Cox cited “personal reasons” for his resignation, News 12 the Bronx reported Wednesday.

...

According to the outlet, the community and board members “lost faith” in him over the past few months and he was also viewed as anti-justice and anti-police for a delayed response pertaining to a controversial presentation by a student regarding Black Lives Matter.

The outlet continued:

Parents were also critical of his decision to enforce a mask mandate for students and staff this year before the CDC and state Health Department did. Parents got so outraged at a meeting that they had to end it after just 15 minutes, with parents yelling and refusing to wear masks. Some parents applauded Tuesday night when they heard the announcement of his departure, although some did appreciate his work for their kids. Some parents tell News 12 many disagreed with Cox’s COVID-19 and mask mandates and that there was concern over talk of bringing critical race theory into the school’s curriculum as well as diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, policies.

“I don’t think Marty Cox really was connected to the soul of the community and in being disconnected that turned a lot of people off to him and his policies,” parent Joe Solari told the station.

Christopher F. Rufo, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, shared a photo of Cox on Thursday, writing, “According to sources, parents banded together, filed FOIA requests, and pressured the board to oust him”:

Never have figured out what a screwl superintendent actually does for all the money they make. Not to mention the lush pension and benefits.

Around here we have one for every rural screwl no matter how small. We also have a principal for each screwl. In some areas they make more than anyone even in retirement.

Yup, cafe scene where Vaughan and Karl have a talk. There's a fellow on Youtube with a channel called "Psych Ward" who does a dead-on Karl impression, messes with people at drive thrus and over the phone. In one vid a phone scammer kept asking for an address, all he would say "I live on the corner of Vine Street and some other street" over and over, LoL.

Hahaha! There is a guy who has called into our local talker and taken them off guard. Wonder if it’s the same guy? He’s really good.

Spineless liberal who just gave up. Rare. Another subtle shill piece from None-too-Breitbart.

It should be called DIE. DEI needs to die.

Getting elected to school boards are the entry level jobs for future career Democrat politicians and party officials. That’s why so many 20 somethings run for it.
It is where they get their first taste of campaigning, glad handing, schmoozing, bartering favors and name recognition within the periphery of the party.
When the party wants a certain individual to be Supervisor, the higher ups in the party remember which board members voted the way they wanted.

Just to let you know; the word “GAY” implies; happy, ebullient, exuberant, joyful. merry, jaunty, light hearted, etc.

Tell me the last time you met a FREAKIN FLAMING QUEER who exhibited any of those qualities!
