Why was the principal of Hall’s Cross Road Elementary School removed? Another African-American female principal out by the current leadership. I feel that there is strong evidence of racism and sexism in Harford County Public Schools. It is very curious when the head of human resources refers to the candidate still remaining in the Elementary Principal Pool as “female African American”. What decade is she living in? WHy was she skipped over for the opening at Hickory Elementary and a white male not in the pool placed at the school? Could it be that the white male worked directly for Angela Morton? No good ole boy network at Hickory Ave.?????
Okay, what if there is strong racism and sexism? What is it you plan to do? Oh, right, nothing.
What If there is a “good ol boy network”? Why do you think anyone here cares? Again, tell me what you plan to do about it? Let me guess. It doesn’t take being a contestant on Wheel of Fortune to find the missing letter of the word “NOTHIN_” does it?
Hit “reply” and type up some more of your bullsh1t. I really care, please personally insult me too, I’m going to do my best to get really butthurt.
Go rant on Facebook, troll, so you can get your “likes.” Why would readers here know anything about HCPS personnel decisions? +3,000 teachers/administration in HCPS, you don’t think by chance at least some of them are not the greatest people alive, regardless of their ethnicity?
Affirmative action, equal opportunity employer and the best you can come up with is your race (master)baiter comment?
Don’t forget to “thumb me down”
Exactly. Thats what I thought, hell, I’m sure you can find news articles in the last 10 years of HCPS employees being arrested/charged/conviction of wwhatever it was, and that’s the “stuff” we (the public) know about.
Who knows how many HCPS employees were fired/transferred/demoted imternally without public knowledge on a news paper.
Hey! Who let Burbey into the building?
I hope someone had soap ready to wash his mouth out.
A teacher was walked out of Patterson Mill High School in handcuffs a few weeks ago. No report in the papers. How does this type of news avoid coverage for the public’s knowledge? I’d like to know what has happended in case children are impacted.
What teacher?
