Michael Dickerson, who was a social studies teacher at Niskayuna Public High School, has now put in his resignation. But instead of just discussing his political activism, he made an admission that stunned those in attendance.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY (WRGB) — A Saratoga Springs city council adjourning early once again. This time, due to outrage over comments by the city’s Public Safety Commissioner, Jim Montagnino, surrounding a Restorative Justice resolution being voted on. This resolution acknowledges and apologizes for the city’s past racial injustices and, also, creates a Restorative Justice panel tasked with looking at the city’s race relations and what can be done to improve that. BLM made it clear to council members that restorative justice to them comes with dropping the charges against the three individuals charged.
