My friend/fellow blogger/radio host D. R. Tucker has compiled a fascinating list of events from the Deval Patrick files, looking back at each calendar day and noting statements, actions and policies of our soon-to-be-former governor.
Tucker, who hosts the Deval Patrick Watch website, knows this stuff better than anyone. And each incident is a spin-free factual reminder of the Natural Truths about who Deval Patrick really is—which is precisely what the governor is running away from.
So when there’s a particularly interesting or significant DOTD, I’ll be posting them here and linking our our FB page, too.
On September 7 [1994], Deval Patrick, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, filed a brief in a New Jersey case arguing that it is legal to fire a white teacher over a black teacher purely because of her race.
That’s right: this is the anniversary of the infamous Piscataway, N.J., school board case, in which Patrick filed suit on behalf of the school board’s decision to fire a white teacher…for being [white]. No other reason. The case was so extreme that Jesse Jackson(!) opposed Patrick’s move, and he raised money to settle the case on behalf of the white victim of Patrick-supported racism.
