After Paladino's Racist Remarks, Buffalo School Board Demands He Resign
The Buffalo Board of Education on Thursday demanded that Carl Paladino resign from his post on the board after making racist comments about President and Michelle Obama last week. If he refuses to step down, the board will ask the state education commissioner to remove him, it said in a resolution.
The resolution — read aloud in a raucous room that exploded in applause when Mr. Paladino's critics spoke, and in jeers at a board member who called for forgiveness and an apology — passed, 6 to 2. Mr. Paladino was not present.
