What would you expect from a public school official?

[WayneS]

I don't think DiFilippo is a Scandinavian name...

[WayneS]

District officials are reviewing the 15- to 20-second YouTube video for the context in which the comment was made, among other details.

That's probably a REALLY good idea.

I would think most of them do not like all kids. He put the wrong adjective in the sentence.

[gaijin]

Many of them are violent, have no father and simply distract others.

Some people don’t belong in school.

He told the truth.

[refermech]

He has a right to his opinions I suppose. Maybe best left unsaid though...

[kingu]

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences of speech. That said, I really have to wonder, should we start planning now to wear body cams and 24 hour mics, or at some point, does someone become a private citizen entitled to speak their mind when not at work?

[Carl Vehse]

Are you sure it wasn't a cosmetic comment that vice principal Joe DiFilippo made, "I don't like blackheads.

[envisio]

Isn’t that exactly what that no-name black singer lady said in yesterday’s news about whites with absolutely NO ramifications?

[rey]

Well that’s fine. He has less than 8% to deal with. I just hope he likes hispanic kids.

[the_daug]

guarantee it is out of context. Like a Scotsman being fired for displaying his Clan colors.

[Yosemitest]

Gee, I wonder WHY .... NOT !

Source:

.... In the wake of the aforementioned murder and another death in the area which was also thought at the time to be another murder, the local chapter of the NAACP is blaming ... (I can't believe I'm typing this) ... the public school system:

NAACP Blames School System for Crime

Two murders in less than 48 hours have the community searching for answers. How can we put a stop to the Meridian's violent crime?

"We should not have to have the crime at this rapid level," Meridian/Lauderdale Co. NAACP President Randle Jennings says.

Jennings says they believe the root of the problem lies within the Meridian public school system. He says many of these criminals drop out, can't find jobs and they run out of choices.

"The criminal is at fault, but what we're seeing is that these are young people that are almost in a position where they're desperate," he says. "I've been in education, my entire life. I've never seen a chaotic community and a sensible, productive school system."

A press release from the NAACP says:

"Meridian school board members consistently expelled or pushed out young people, creating early juvenile offenders!"

By that "logic" that not being able to find a job guarantees a high level of criminal activity American should have utterly imploded during the Great Depression. Note that it didn't.

The demise of Eva Carmichael is just one small item in a long list of such crimes (to be clear, none of the others involve murder) chronicled by Colin Flaherty at American Thinker earlier today.

The press's consistent refusal to give prominence to black youth crime, clearly even murder, is undeniable, pervasive — and a national disgrace.

So WHO is Marcus Steele, II, Juwan McCallum, JaQuis Houston, and Deshay Shively,
and WHY is their MURDER of Eva Carmichael not being publicized by the LAME STREAM MEDIA.?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What was the rest of the statement?

[4yearlurker]

Maybe he said:"I don't like black birds."

[Darksheare]

What's not to like besides the "thug culture", the violence, the machine gun staccato outbursts of the N word, the outrage over every imagined sleight, the entitlement attitude?
Come on, it's so cute according to libs.
Or is the school official a liberal who got gobsmacked with the end result of liberal policies?

[Altura Ct.]

What was the context? I might agree with him.

Many black children are rude and obnoxious.

[LibWhacker]

They are disrespectful toward authority and everybody else. They are racists. They hate white people, Hispanics, Jews, Italians and Asians. They are disdainful of education. They are often members of gangs, are often violent, dangerous, robbers, rapists, murderers and thieves. I know that gives the other 10% a bad name, but what’s not to like?

[Lazamataz]

Full context: “I don’t like black kids who murder, rape, and cannibalize others” is what he said.

[DoughtyOne]

Folks, I believe that if we had to deal with the kids these school officials have to, it wouldn’t take us more than a year or two to say something unfortunate like this ourselves.

When you come into contact with the element public officials do, you soon see a whole group by the unfortunate people you come into contact with.

I honestly pity some of the school officials who have to deal with some of today’s students, if they are in a particularly bad area, all the more so.

I know that we give public education officials a hard time, but they have a very difficult job at times.

While I don’t think people should exhibit bias, people are human. Sometimes they get beaten down by what they have to deal with.

[hattend]

Thugs, it’s pronounced THUGS not kids.
