NYC DOE probing anti-white texts linked to black superintendent
[NYPOST] The city Department of Education is investigating widely circulated screenshots of anti-white texts purportedly written by Staten Island’s black superintendent, officials told The Post.

The inflammatory texts vowing to get rid of white principals and "clean up this island" are attributed to District 31 Superintendent Marion Wilson.

The screenshots were sent in emails to Chancellor Banks and other DOE and city officials from the encrypted email address Mikeboy70@protonmail.com.

A message sent there got no response.

The screenshots, which two principals forwarded to The Post, are troubling.

"No more white principals on my watch!" says one text under Wilson’s name.

"I need to clean up this island," another text reads. "White folks need to recognize this is not the boys club anymore. A strong black woman runs this bitch now, and they can either get on board or get out. If they don’t get out, I’m going to take them out one by one. They’re not gonna know what hit them. Gonna be fun."

A third text says, "Chris’s white ass is G-O-N-E. It’s happening."

It is an apparent reference to Christopher Anzalone, a former executive director of District 31 who moved to District 23 in Brooklyn as executive director of school support and operations.

"I agreed to take CL ... She’ll keep the white folks off my back," the text continues, apparently referring to Christine Loughlin, who was removed by Chancellor Banks as superintendent of District 3 in Manhattan.

Loughlin, who is white, now serves as executive director of school support and operations in District 31.

Another screenshot purports to show someone texting Wilson about two white Staten Island principals, David Cugini of Susan Wagner HS, a nephew of the late Christy Cugini, a former District 31 superintendent, and Nicholas Mele of IS 51:

"LOL Mele and Cugini better play nice. They’re first up on the chopping block," it says.

After an NYPD officer was accused of punching a girl near IS 51 on Jan. 3, Wilson sent Banks and a team of DOE supervisors to walk through the school to check on the wellbeing of students.

The review found the building safe and without serious problems, but sources believe Wilson was cracking down on Mele.

Wilson, 52, did not return a request for comment.

After the DOE press office alerted her to the emails, she denied writing the texts, contending that enemies are trying to smear her, officials told The Post.

The DOE told the Staten Island Advance Friday that the texts are "fake," and that the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools is probing their origins — a claim the SCI flatly denied in a statement to The Post.

An SCI spokesperson said they received a complaint about the texts, but referred it to the DOE "for appropriate action."

SCI confirmed it has an open investigation on a related matter, but would not discuss it.

The SCI also blasted DOE front man Nathaniel Styer’s statement that "SCI is not investigating [Wilson]. SCI is investigating fake texts and spoofing."

The SCI spokesperson countered: "That is not an SCI statement, and DOE should know better than to speculate on confidential investigations being conducted by SCI.

Regardless, DOE’s press office does not speak for SCI. SCI’s statement was that we do not confirm or discuss matters that are pending."

A Staten Island parent who has a child in the public schools was concerned after seeing the screenshots.

#5  I do not believe in shunning blacks or whites, but 50% of people in America are not worth the trouble of interacting with. Luckily the
racists and tyrants announce themselves immediately so research is not required.

#7  You can interact with some lefties and racists. I would not interact with Marion Wilson. I consider her presence to be IDLH. I listen to some other presumed lefties talk about sports teams I like. They have more of a Permissible Exposure Limit.

#8  "A powerful black woman."

In my career days, "powerful woman" meant a thoroughgoing bi*ch on wheels who particularly hated all men and went out of her way to humiliate them.

#2  How about simply requiring congressional spending to match the previous year's collected tax revenue. Minus 10% to be used to pay down the National debt and a build a Emergency / War use only fund?

#3  Monetary policy is tightening. But just a little help from fiscal policy (i.e., no more trillion dollar plus deficits) would be very helpful.

White House challenge to Biden: Marianne Williamson enters presidential race
[GEO.TV] Marianne Williamson
...foemer Dem presidential candidate for 2020, campaigning on a platform of Hope and Change™, massage therapy, feng shueh, incense, Love©, and half a trillion bucks in reparations to black folk...
, a self-help author, activist muppet and spiritual advisor, announced Saturday that she is a candidate for the US presidency in 2024, four years after an earlier run for the office drew little support.

Now 70, the iconoclastic author has become the first Democrat to officially enter the 2024 race -- even before President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. The guy who single-handedly lost Afghanistan...
-- calling on her fellow Americans to reject cynicism and "conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline."

Other Democrats have held off announcing their candidacies pending a decision from Biden, who at 80 has said he has "the intention" to run again but has yet to formally enter the race.

In her televised announcement, Williamson summarized her candidate positions, denouncing mass incarceration, economic inequity and racial injustice and calling for "an emergency-level transition from a dirty economy to a clean economy."

"Government of the people by the people and for the people is perishing," she said, referring to an Abraham Lincoln quote. "This government is now a government of the corporations by the corporations and for the corporations."

After her 1992 book "A Return to Love" became a best-seller, Williamson was a frequent guest of talk-show superstar Oprah Winfrey, offering advice on personal development while raising her own profile.

Then four years ago, the unconventional Williamson took on Biden and some 20 other Democratic candidates for the presidency.

During televised debates, she drew attention with her denunciations of the "dark psychic force" that she said Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
represented.

She repeated that sentiment Saturday, with an added caution. "I'm so glad that President Trump did not win the last election. That means we didn't go over the cliff. But I'll tell you something, we're still six inches away from it."

#1  might be a way to increase book sales

lots of her stuff is deeply discounted on ebay

#2  /\ Never 'discounted' is the value of publicity, both good publicity as well as bad.

#3  I think she has climbed above Buttigieg without moving.

#4  RFK, Jr., thinking about it.

#5  The Other Hippie Chick.
Posted by: badanov || 03/05/2023 11:01 Comments || Top||

#6  So the Dems looked around, and said "We have a blthering idiot right now. Can we find a blitheringer idioter to soak up the heat?"
BINGO!
Posted by: ed in texas || 03/05/2023 11:26 Comments || Top||

#7  RFK Jr would be fun to watch. Not as fun to listen to. The only way his voice could be made more unpleasant is with a tracheotomy.

#8  I’d like to see RFK, Jr run just to see more Cheryl Hines
