Ex-NY Governor Hopeful Paladino Who Insulted Obamas Kicked Off Board
One-time Republican candidate for New York governor Carl Paladino whose insults of Barack and Michelle Obama preceded calls for his ouster from the Buffalo school board has been removed from the post.
State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia announced her decision Thursday following a five-day hearing in June. School board members lobbied for Paladino’s removal after he disclosed information about teacher contract negotiations that were discussed in closed-door sessions.
