YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"...Coatesville Area School District superintendent Richard Como and Director of Athletics and Activities Jim Donato have gained national attention for their abrupt departures from their positions -- and the slew of hateful and racist messages discovered on their district-issued cell phones. Board president Neil Campbell has called the texts "sickening and obviously unacceptable." The incendiary messages, which all date from this past June, are a regular cavalcade of bigotry. And a source told the Philadelphia Inquirer Monday that "What has been made public represents a fraction of the messages between the men." In one exchange, the two riff on how "All should have whatever first names they want... then last name is [n-word]!" Over the course of their messages, they also speculate in details on other people's sex lives, discuss a "Jew red haired ESL" teacher, "that ape," "cotton pickers" and a "skinny bitch," among others. Intriguingly, there's also a reference to a "MAJOR sneak" who "made at least 1500 -- 2000 on kickback." But to be honest, my favorite is the damming understatement that "This fucking phone! No idea how to work!" A district IT worker allegedly discovered the messages last month while transferring data to a new device...".* Ana Kasparian, Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report), and Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?! and TYT Sports) break it down on The Young Turks.
