Petition Asks Greece School Board President to Resign over Controversial Retweets
Written by Site Hub on May 2, 2021
Area grassroots organization, Black in the Burbs, started a petition on Twitter asking Sean McCabe to step down as school board president after concerning retweets.
One of the retweets read:
“You know folks, I never cared that you were gay until you started shoving it down my throat, I never cared what color you were until you started blaming me for your problems, and I never cared about your political affiliation, until you started condemning me for mine. I really never even cared where you were born, until you wanted to erase my history, blame my ancestors for your problems you know I never even cared if your beliefs were different than mine, until you said my beliefs were wrong, but now I care, my patience and tolerance are gone, and I am not along in feeling like this, there are millions of us who feel like this.”
Rashana Greene, a parent of two in the district talks to reporters about how the retweets made her feel:
“Knowing the position that Mr. McCabe has as far as his visions, views, and values for the district is disappointing because I actually have no confidence that he is including my children when he speaks about his values and beliefs and a lot of those tweets and retweets validate that.”
