THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — If our school top officials can’t mete out the kind of racial equality afforded minorities a half a century ago, how the heck are they going to stand up for transgender students?
After discovery of the racists texts, the Coatesville Area (Chester County, Penn.) School Board even worked on ways for the superintendent to keep his job. It was only when somebody leaked the info to the District Attorney’s Office did Superintendent Richard Como resign. Because the texts were on district-owned phone, a criminal investigation was launched by the DA’s office.
Along with Como, another participant, Director of Athletics Jim Donato also resigned. The texts were discovered by the district’s IT office.
Here’s a sampling from The Daily News via Raw Story:
“All should have whatever first names they want… then last name is N*GGER!” he wrote. “Leroy N*gger, Preacher N*gger, Night train n*gger, clarence n*gger, Latoya n*gger, Thelma n*gger and so on.”
“Hahahahahahahahhahahahaha could have a whole homeromms of N*gger!. Hahahahahahaha! Will N*gger report to office, pardon the interruption but will N*gger report to nurses office. N*gger to lunch now!”

I shudder to think what they’d say about transgender students in the district. The whole school board needs to resign for even considering keeping the superintendent.

LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS 
This seems hard to believe, but i guess there still really are people around like this. They definitely have no place dealing with the public. And yes , if the school board tried to protect this, then they MUST be removed with all due speed. I wonder how the people in Coatesville feel about this guy being the school superintendent. I hope they do not damage their brain from shaking their head.
What the H? Are we living in the 1850’s or in 2013? This is appalling anywhere, but from a “Northern State” this is unacceptable. The whole school board should be brought up on charges of hate crimes. As you said in your article, if they feel this way about black students, what do they feel about the Transgender students? Attitudes like these need to change, NOW. We are all equal, all the same, no difference between us.
I think labeling it as a hate crime would be a little harsh, but yes, trying to defend the guy was a bad move.
I’m glad the bastards resigned. I hope their careers are now a shambles.
