Racist Texts From PA School Official

"...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.

In one exchange, the two riff on how "All should have whatever first names they want... then last name is [n-word]!"

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!
