Principal To Be Removed After Beating, Theft Accusations
in response to reader comment: He did not even come to the school meeting to speak up for himself!

blake's misuse of money, his alledged beating of a child - just one of many incidents of physical and mental harrassment blake caused students and faculty alike. why did 25 teachers leave? why did all ofhis secretaries leave? which child did he "throw out" of the building????? and what about all the allegations of womanizing, illegitimate child, etc. seen on week-ends with a woman in a red car using the building as a hotel. and as for racial injustice, how many people did he put in the rubber room? and what were ALL of their ehtnicities (NONE were black). Blake used the race card to no avail in Yonkers, now he is trying to do the same in NYC. HE IS A BULLY who harrassed his faculty and put people in the rubber room not "innocent until proven guilty" but GUILTY BY HIM until proven innocent. His misuse of this room is widely known in the district. just investigate all of the above. also, illegal programs that ran - look into the "bridge program" for one.
