Buffalo, N.Y.: Ousting a school board racist bigot

Dozens of people marched to protest outside the home of local millionaire developer and Buffalo school board member Carl Paladino on Jan. 12 to demand his resignation from the school board. Since a Buffalo local newspaper published Paladino’s recent disgusting, racist, transphobic remarks aimed at Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, community activists have had multiple demonstrations of hundreds of people rejecting his bigotry.

Paladino, who was the New York co-chair for president-elect Donald Trump’s campaign, recently requested that photos of Trump be placed in all Buffalo city schools. Protests are planned to continue until he is removed from the board.
