Former Coatesville Area School Superintendent Richard Como and former Director of Athletics and Activities Jim Donato have resigned and are facing criminal charges in regard to a highly racist stream of text messages between the two men.
One text read that all African Americans should share the surname N*gger. And if that was too complex a concept for the other to grasp, examples were set forth: Leroy N*gger, Preacher N*gger, Night train N*gger, Clarence N*gger, Latoya N*gger, Thelma N*gger and so on.
There were also derogatory comments against Jews and Arabs.
It is horrifying to think that these two high-ranking academic professionals, one in charge of a school district and the other directing sports for the area, directly touched the lives of so many students in their jurisdiction.

(9,886 posts)to complain that they are being prosecuted for a thought crime, but they're just so damn stupid it's hard to work up the energy.

(45,851 posts)Not that it couldn't happen there mind you, but the region and state bashing would reach depths only sporadically plumbed on the DU.
What's really sad more than anything is that these wastes of scrofula were so damn banal, there's nothing even remotely imaginative about what they wrote, just evil and pathetic in some ratio it's beyond my pay grade to calculate.

They're in big trouble now, but how did they get this far without any one noticing?
(Unless maybe it was noticed but ignored, or even approved, until it went viral...)

I would guess that both the School Superintendent and the Director of Athletics thought they were being rather clever and witty in their tête-à-tête.

(24,721 posts)shoot-from-the-hip regime. Because they were never held accountable, the "kick their ass, take their gas" attitude has continued to snowball. If they had been rightfully removed from their palace, their behavior wouldn't have been emulated by their sheeple &, possibly, the teabaggers wouldn't have been so emboldened to behave like extremists who thrive on hatred.
