"Eye" think current city council member, and former school board member, Dr. Jeannie Robinson "mispoke" #hcsboe

According to Waff48 Vincent Crivelli's live Twitter feed of public comments made at the desegregation hearing, current city council member, and former school board member, Dr. Jeannie Robinson had this to say about Huntsville City Schools Superintendent, Casey Wardynski:

MORE: She say Superintendent Wardynski has done more for African American students that previous superintendents.

Words matter.  I think Robinson meant to say Superintendent Wardynski has done more TO African American students than previous superintendents.

What has Wardynski done TO African American students you ask?  Let me count the things.

Let's start with requiring African American students wear uniforms so school administrators would be able distinguish them from gang members.

Let's move on spying on African American students and expelling them for things  posted on social media.  Then there is the documented fact African American students are suspended and expelled more than white students.

Oh, and I can't forget closing the Alternative School and giving poor/black and brown students  the option of expulsion, a private  "Therapeutic" facility .

How about  trained certified teachers being replaced with Teach for America teachers in predominately African American schools,  and replacing text books with laptops and IPads without ensuring African American students had access to the Internet?  

Last but not least, closing, illegally renaming, and locating schools less than half a mile from an active rock quarry, to remove them from the list of failing schools.

I would say Casey Wardynski has done more TO African American students than FOR African American students.

What say you?

BOO!

- Elisa Ferrell took the District 3 seat on the Huntsville school board Tuesday night with 54 percent, or 2,668, of the votes, completing the changes that will usher in a 60 percent new school board next month.
The longtime PTA mom and volunteer beat out tax accountant Anson Knowles, who earned 46 percent (2,260 votes), to replace Jennie Robinson as south Huntsville's board representative. Robinson on Tuesday won the District 3 seat on the Huntsville City Council.
Ferrell will be sworn in on Nov. 3 along with Beth Wilder, who will replace David Blair in District 2, and Walker McGinnis, who will replace Topper Birney in District 4.

 

After electing Jennie Robinson to the Huntsville City school board three times, south Huntsville is now sending her to the Huntsville city council.
Robinson defeated Walt Hennessee on Tuesday night to win the runoff for the District 3 seat on the city council.
Another difference-maker in the campaign, Hennessee said, was a mailing Robinson sent out to residents in south Huntsville linking him with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Parker Griffith.
The mailing recited Hennessee's history in working on past Griffith campaigns and that Griffith made a $2,000 campaign contribution to Hennessee, according to Hennessee.
"The big thing, the 800-pound gorilla, was the two peas in a pod mailing that went out that basically said that Parker Griffith was the one who showed me how to manipulate data and deceive the public," Hennessee said. "When I saw that in the mail, that was like a kick in the stomach. I would never do anything like that. For somebody to even think that I would was just disgusting.

North Huntsville students and taxpayers may as well bend over and prepare for the high heel pumps.......
