In Fresno, CA, a white vice principal of a middle school was recorded on a smart phone video, stating that “I just don’t like the Black kids.” The vice principal, whose name is Joseph Defillipo, made the remarks after being asked by a student who he disliked at Scandinavian Middle School. The student then uploaded the recorded conversation to YouTube.
In spite of the proof that Defillipo made the statements, the Fresno Unified School District will be sending him away on paid administrative leave until further notice.
Here’s the story, according to a Fresno, CA news outlet.
Some parents, like Latricia Medley, are calling for the termination of Defillipo as a school administrator, saying “I think he should be fired. Why should we have to have our kids overseen by someone that don’t like them?” the concerned Black mother asks.
There is an unspoken rule in the Melanoid community that holds all of us accountable to observe who we trust our children with when we’re away from them. The vice principal of Scandinavian Middle School in Fresno, CA is one of those people who can not be trusted around your children.
