The hypocrite Chancellor has done it yet again. He proclaims that there is "zero tolerance" of teachers accused, but not found guilty of sexual misconduct but gives his managers and administrators a pass when they are accused. Now we find that the Chancellor has hired a man, James Brown that was sued for sexual harassment, bullying. racist comments and retaliation against a female dean at a Baldwin middle school who won the lawsuit against him. Notice, this was not just an accusation but a lawsuit where the preponderance of evidence presented showed that Mr. Brown was found guilty of such behavior. The story can be found here.
Mr. Brown was removed from the Baldwin school in 2009 and was sent to the District office, away from the children, until he resigned in 2012. Mr. Brown was also accused of saying sexually inappropriate comments. While at Baldwin, Brown was accused of remarking on the tightness of a female student’s pants, said a federal lawsuit against him. He also said to the female dean to make a school report “tight as a virgin’s, well, you know what is tight on a virgin,” she reported. Yet our so-called "zero tolerance" clueless Chancellor hired him to be a Principal of an already troubled Flushing High School, unbelievable!
Chancellor Walcott has, once again, has been exposed as a hypocrite and practicing a "double standard" when it comes to teachers and administrators. Remember these stories here and here?It seems our clueless Chancellor does not "practice what he preaches" when it comes to selecting and disciplining the DOE administrators. Thank goodness we only have 99 more days of his inept and terrible leadership of the New York City schools. Tick, tick, tick.
