Why A Principal Berated Parents And Community Members As Being ‘Nosy White Neighbors'
Jessica Marie Baumgartner
August 22, 2022
Due to an obsession with race and racial-based assumptions, a Pasadena principal may have displayed his prejudice against white parents, community members, and police officers. Rudy Ramirez presides over the San Rafael Elementary School. When police were called to investigate suspicious activity on campus, he raced to the scene to interfere with a legal investigation.
Concerned community members called to report that a door was left open at night and a man dressed in street clothes had been seen on the premises. This man happened to be a school custodian working overtime, but being that he was not in uniform and school security issues specifically focused on unlocked and open doors have been reported time and again, police were sent out to investigate the situation. When the Pasadena principal was notified he rushed to the scene not realizing that the police were wearing body cameras.
He was recorded angrily shouting about "noisy white neighbors." The Pasadena principal then went on a rant about race and accused the community of targeting the custodian for his heritage. Instead of recognizing his own bias, he degraded those he works for instead of empathizing with people who merely saw a strange situation and feared for their school.
Upon review of the camera footage, the mayor found that police handled the situation properly. They responded to a 9-1-1 call, detained the man involved, and questioned him. Within six and a half minutes his identity was verified and he was released. Despite this routine response, the Pasadena principal used his own personal bias to assume that police would abuse his employee and that white people called to harm a hispanic custodian.

He cannot be trusted with authority which he could abuse by discriminating against white students in his school.

Insufficient coffee levels, most likely!

An easy error to make. It just almost struck too close to home. I live in the Pasadena School District, in Texas.
