Parent Objects to Walcott Being Honored by 100 Black Men

7 p.m. – Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott is honored at One Hundred Black Men’s 32nd Annual Benefit Gala, New York Hilton, Mercury Ballroom,1335 Avenue of the Americas.

Karen Sprowal whose child was tossed out of Eve Moskowitz's Harlem Success Academy responds:
This a joke right?
As an African American public school parent I can say honestly, Walcott is a disgrace to the race! We should be protesting his appointment as chancellor not honoring him for anything! 
Shame on 100 Black Men org. there are many black men working within public schools and the community they could honor, all they had to do was ask.

If you knew Dennis Walcott personally, you would be ashamed to speak the way you do. Stop trying to break down what you don't have a clue about.

I have seen this guy operate for 10 years destroying the nyc public school system. You should be ashamed for not noticing.

Makes wimpy waffles and holds a waiver because he is totally unqualified for the position. His only qualification is his connection to Bloomberg.
He has no track record in education, can anybody name the small (private?) schoolmwhere theybsay he taught very briefly and left
Because he hated it. I am not sure he is a disgrace to any race other than the human race. I want to see a track record from areal educator, not another Waiver Holding
Bozo who espouses nonsensical data centric policies that show they are clueless about education.

PS wasn't there a cartoon character called the "Waffle Wiffer". Maybe that is Waffles Walcott's true calling.

Not only do I have a clue, my African American son education continues to be "Broke Down " and destabilized under the puppet leadership of Chancellor Walcott. I'm ashamed that this black man doesn't have the heart or integrity to do right by our children ...

Are you doing the right thing by your child? A "broke down" education begins at home.

Sure, he single-handedly destroys the NYC public school system! YOU should be ashamed for blaming this all on one person. Have you looked at the teachers union recently? Get real!

The wonderful thing about good parenting and great public school teachers is that a special needs child like my son can still thrive. But it's a constant struggle under mayoral control and the likes of Walcott. The most needy districts are literally being auction off. And Walcott has allowed himself to be used as the right used Michael Steel the sad thing is that he doesn't even know it!
