Disgrace!! To allow this so called principal to remain as head of this school tells you all you need to know about NYC school system, period. The NYC Board of Education is completely gutless in their quest to support this poor excuse for a principal. It is a disservice to the students and teachers of the school to have her remain in this position. No wonder this school has been rated UNSATISFACTORY. God Bless America. I will pray for this poor misguided Mrs. Hawkins. Close Quote

An utter disgrace!! To allow a racist, bigoted, religious zealot to remain in the position of a NYC public school principal is beyond mind boggling. AND the NYC Board of Education agrees with her and is supportive of her statements and actions! It is a disservice to the students of the school and the members of that community to have her remain in this position . The state rating of PS 90 under this Principal's stewardship has been UNSATISFACTORY. Nanny Bloomberg - where are you now?? Close Quote
