City ignored pleas to ax ‘lunatic’ principal
NY Post ^ | 1/19/14 | Susan Edelman

**SNIP**

Sills, 48, was a graduate of the DOE’s “Leadership Academy,” which trains principals, and had little teaching experience. Insiders said she lacked literacy skills, noting her invitation to a Nov. 23, 2005, holiday buffet “in honor of my gradutitude” to employees, including “security personel” and “custodially staff members.”

Sills ruled by threats and intimidation, ex-staffers complained. She “yells at a volume that resounds throughout the building, slams doors and uses foul language,” a 2006 letter to Condon claims.

That letter also accuses Sills of racism: “She has hired only black teachers and has targeted white teachers and a secretary.” Many left or were forced out.

One former teacher charged that Sills fabricated several observations, rated her “unsatisfactory” and then forged her signature on the documents.

Looks like the neighborhood has changed. Bet a large number of future doctors and other competent professionals are reflected in the picture.
It is not about color, rather it about culture.

The ex mayor of New York ws to busy sticking his nose into others peoples business to be bothered with hte problems of New York.

But have no fear the new mayor will surpass him without even trying.

Each day the voters of New york prove that they are completely clueless and as such deseve whatever they get and deserve no pity whatever they get.

For a minute there I had visions of Hitlary. Birds of a feather, be they black or while. Amazing.

I take it that most of the kids are black. Black on black crime is a non-issue. Look at murders and crime in major inner cities. Liberals want to keep the status quo. To do otherwise is racist.

Cuomo is a Stanner. Cuomo graduated from Saint Gerard's School in 1971 and Archbishop Molloy High School in 1975. He received his B.A. from Fordham University in 1979. All Roman Catholic institutions.

ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo says “extreme conservatives” don’t fit in with most New Yorkers.

“If they are extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York,” Cuomo said in a radio interview Friday.

Cuomo defined “extreme conservatism” as being “anti-gay” by opposing same-sex marriage rights, opposed to abortion rights and favoring legalization of assault weapons. Cuomo officials later said the governor’s remarks were aimed at “extremist” conservative Republican candidates.

Helluva job instilling Roman Catholic values, there.

I would bet there’s hundreds more Marcella Sills in schools around the country. Administrators are reluctant to fire these people. Of course, many of the administrators are probably as bad in their jobs as Sills. Certainly, any non-black adms will be charged with racism if they try to rid the system of worthless people like Sills. And most likely Sills would just be replaced with someone like her. That’s affirmative action for you folks. In the U.S. skin color trumps competence every time.

The more loutish and brutish, the better. Keeps the locals in fear, and easier to manipulate.

I think it was Theodore Dalrymple who wrote about the corrosive effects on people when they have to pretend they don't see what's right in front of them. It's one thing to have a gray functionary in a position: people can reasonably think, "Well, nobody else would be able to do much in the job, either,"

However, when there's a comic book figure such as Ms. Sills, and normal people have to pretend they don't notice, it can drive people to despair.

Worse thing is she won’t be called upon to make restitution. She won’t go to prison. Hell she may even be allowed to keep her pension. There will be no satisfactory outcome that will deter the next idiot the DOE pushes through based on any criteria except competence.

"That letter also accuses Sills of racism: “She has hired only black teachers and has targeted white teachers and a secretary.”... "

They have achieved critical mass in positions of power and are hiring only 'fellow travelers'. In my childrens' school they laid off the only openly Republican teacher claiing budget problems- then hired a flaming libtard teacher a month later

It looks like she took “Facial Expression Lessons” from Al Sharpton.

She’s black, that’s why she was kept on, no argument from the hierarchy.
