The Buffalo Board of Education voted 6-2 Thursday to issue a stunning ultimatum to Carl Paladino, one of their own members who has been under national fire for his racially charged comments about the Obamas: Resign within 24 hours, or the board will petition the state to remove you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Paladino was Donald Trump\u2019s New York campaign co-chair and currently sits on the nine-member Buffalo school board. In recent days, he\u2019s faced intense criticism<\/a> for his answers<\/a> to a local newspaper\u2019s questionnaire about what he would like to see happen in 2017. Paladino said he\u2019d like President Barack Obama to die from mad cow disease and called first lady Michelle Obama a man who should go live with gorillas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Buffalonians sick of Paladino making their city look bad mobilized Thursday, first for a protest downtown in Niagara Square and later at a special school board meeting at city hall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which, I suppose, is heartening. Not that he’ll learning anything from the episode, but younger, more malleable minds may learn the intended lesson: such attitudes are a blight upon the nation and unwanted. A little checking around to see if he has reacted to the vote yet revealed his web site<\/a>, a rather narcissistic production, but no reaction. He is an acidic commentator<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mr. Casserle, I filled out your survey. You know that there are not any \u201cgreat city school districts\u201d in New York.\u00a0You also know the reason.<\/p>\n

The Governor, our mayors, the New York State and local Legislatures and the press are a corrupt cesspool of cowardly, arrogant and liberal or RINO play-actors intent on keeping their voting base hungry and illiterate in the cycle of poverty in our urban centers. You are a part of that cabal of disingenuous heathens who perpetuate an education bureaucracy dedicated to self-preservation and unionism forever that has no interest in educating the kids in our urban centers.<\/p>\n

Your survey was bull, probably directed more at preserving your job than actually seeking to achieve positive results for the kids.\u00a0The Buffalo School Board is as or more dysfunctional as other urban Boards across the State.\u00a0That will not change.\u00a0The web of laws unique to New York, (the Taylor Law and the Tri-borough Law, a paralyzed Board of Regents now owned by NYSUT, a sniveling, wimpy and uninformed press and corrupt politicians like Sheldon Silver, Dean Skelos, George Maziarz, Tom Libous have sold out the people and built a web of obstacles to any earnest effort to change the system.\u00a0Good strong men will not enter the arena because they know that the only solution for our dysfunctional urban education in N.Y.\u00a0is to dismantle it and start over. Your membership and that of all the urban Boards love sitting at the table talking every issue to death.\u00a0They lust the power.<\/p>\n

The Romans did not create a great civilization with rhetoric.\u00a0They did it by killing every adversary who got in their way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An interesting viewpoint, but lacking nuance and subtlety. I’d say, from my limited viewpoint, that the more strong man approach they took to governance, the more desperate they became.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
