Tasteless Jokes and Comments about the West Bloomfield School District

Warning: If you are easily offended, or even not so easily offended, do NOT read this.

George Fornero was principal of WB High School, 1994-2000. It is no secret that, near the end of his term, he decided he was gay. He moved on to the Ann Arbor School District, which offered a more hospitable environment, as Deputy Superintendent, and he eventually became Superintendent. The Superintendent of the WBSD since 2002 has been Gary Faber. He was Deputy Superintendent and succeeded Sy Gretchko after the latter died. (I dislike Faber intensely. One of the many reasons being that, allegedly, he makes life miserable for subordinates who show some independence, like Fornero did.)At any rate, a few years ago, I was on the dissertation committee of a student, who shall go nameless, who wanted to study problems of retention of high school teachers. I suggested he study whether there was any correlation between retention problems in a school district and the sexual orientation of the superintendent. (Faber is straight.) This was in fact A JOKE! To his credit, the student ignored this, as he did all the other suggestions I made, most of which were serious. He also caused me to realize that, throughout my 40 year teaching career, most of my students had no idea whatsoever what I was talking about!Barbara DeMarco is on the WB School Board. She is also on the Board of the ACLU. I asked her once if she saw any conflict in having these two positions. She said no. I found this curious, since the WB School District's idea of due process would make even George W. Bush blush, let alone the ACLU.Fornero was succeeded as principal by Joanne Andrees, who was fine, if a bit regal. Her successor, whose name rhymes with "Airborne" was not up to the job, as was clear from the get-go. Nevertheless, he was renewed after two years, and then, allegedly, forced out when the Board suddenly "realized" how incompetent he was. God knows how much this cost the District. One of the many ways they waste money. I don't have a tasteless joke on this, but some students on the MSU network of Facebook did a number on Andrees and Airborne. It was crude, vulgar, racist, and certainly not at all deserved, since both of them were always polite and courteous on a personal level. For all I know, it is still sitting out there in Cyberspace.
