"This decision was reached following a thorough internal review of his opinions and beliefs as expressed in his books and columns, and a discussion with Mr. Borzellieri himself."The 48-year-old, who was named principal at the mostly black and Latino school two years ago, had pushed in the past to ban a biography of martyred civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King.He wrote a 2004 book which maintained "diversity is a weakness," and was a frequent contributor to the white supremacist publication American Renaissance.As a Queens school board member, he tried to bar "anti-American" literature - including the King book - from school libraries and remove a gay teacher from the classroom.Zwilling said the opinions expressed by Borzellieri in his writings "were found to be imcompatible with the philosophy and practices" of the school and the archdiocese.Word of Borzellieri's racist ties caused a ruckus at the parish's Sunday Mass, where one parishioner stood to demand the principal's ouster.lmcshane@nydailynews.comRead more: http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2011/08/02/2011-08-02_bronx_catholic_school_principal_frank_borzellieri_fired_over_ties_to_white_supre.html#ixzz1Tu6zZNSd

Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Well apparently he did.It's so quaint that they used the term "ruckus."
