A Major Charter School Scandal (American Indian Public Charter Schools)

[Starry Messenger]

4. This should be one of Bill Maher's "New Rules"

If Arnold Schwarzenegger calls someone an "education miracle", they should be subject to immediate and constant scrutiny.

This situation has been well-documented too. I remember reading articles in 2007 about what a bastard Chavis is. In fact, I thought the schools had already been shut down the last time he was embroiled in scandal. I was surprised to see that they were still open and this is what it took to finally get him.

In a series of complaint letters, Sabrina Zirkel, a Mills College professor of education, and four of her graduate students, say Chavis repeatedly called Unity Lewis, a 25-year-old black Mills student, "a fucking black minority punk" during a recent visit to Chavis' middle school. They also claim that Chavis, after Lewis arrived fifteen minutes late, screamed that he was going to kick the grad student's ass, and called him a "worthless piece of shit."

The letters are signed by Zirkel, Lewis, Terry Pollack, Deborah Long, and Shrimathi Bathey. They allege that Chavis, who says he is an American Indian with some black heritage, also remarked to a white female Mills student: "You look like a mix breed." When the student responded that her ancestors came from throughout Europe, Chavis said, "Well, your people sure fucked around a lot." He also referred to his minority students as "darkies" and allegedly called a parent of one of his students a "prostitute."

Finally, the visitors said that during their March tour of American Indian Public Charter School, the principal asked one of his tenth-grade girls if a certain boy "was still trying to suck your titties." Zirkel said that after the girl whispered "no," and walked on, Chavis explained to his tour group that the girl had told him the boy "wanted to suck her titties." Chavis' visitors claim he then told them he had forced the boy to stand in front of his class while the principal announced that the boy wanted to ... well, you know.

How innovative. So glad we gave him an opportunity to pocket millions of taxpayer dollars.
