[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard for me to care. We have a rapist and felon taking bribes and extorting businesses in the Oval Office who is allllllll through the Epstein Files. Apparently, nothing matters anymore. [/quote]
Sad that Donald Trump sets your bar for employment standards.[/quote]

I mean shouldn’t we look to our US president as a barometer of intelligence, expertise, decorum, political savvy, and general transparency and honestly?!?!

You don’t see this as a priority or do you actually believe that Haitians were eating cats and dogs? Or, you don’t care that the man with our nuclear codes believes that he assassinated Saddam Hussein last year after speaking with Hegseth?

Be real. Why do you care more about a superintendent, who by all measures, was apparently doing a decent job? [/quote]

PP here. I am no Trump supporter and cannot control what he does. I can only vote for his opponents. I'm a longtime educator who believes that we should hire teachers, staff, administrators, and superintendents of the highest moral caliber to lead our school districts and set an example for our impressionable students. Mr. Roberts is a lying, charming con artist. [/quote]

OMG, you just don’t get it. They thought they were hiring that person. There were  no complaints about his job, were there? People usually only know about a charlatan until after he’s hoodwinked you. That is except for Trump because people knew he was a charlatan and that he’d FAILED at his job. And, HE’S A WHITE MAN, so I guess it’s excused.

But sure hold him to a different standard you “non-Trump” voter. [/quote]

You don’t get it. It isn’t about Trump or non-Trump voters.  Back in my day, DEI was affirmative action. Quality institutions realized that affirmative action was in one sense little different from other initiatives. An organization had to do it well. This meant making the program part of a high performance culture, with high, but reasonable standards and expectations.

So look at DEI today. Des Moines, admittedly a singular example, possessed little of the healthy skepticism that employers in key positions should have towards resumes. The school knew he fabricated his Morgan State PhD, yet allowed Roberts to continue with the process.  The rub is that there are quite a few minority educators with actual credentials to choose from. A good thing of course.  Some with good records in mid size urban environments. If a PhD is required or preferred, those candidates exist too - more PhD’s are awarded to minorities than any other field of study. Now whether a district can get a certain candidate to come to Des Moines is another matter but there should be no diminishment of a high standard high performance culture.

If DEI is to survive it must be approached with the same rigor as other endeavors. [/quote]

You do know that DEI benefitted white women more than any other minority group????

Also, everyone is projecting that there were better candidates and ignoring that they used a headhunter, who had supposedly vetted him. Further, there don't seem to be any complaints. In fact, I've seen Iowans posting on FB that they were going to have to handle this wrt to children (who would be traumatized by his departure) and many disagreeing with his abrupt firing, wanting to verify everything through due process first.

Everyone thinks some magical white woman or man would have been better for this position, but we don't know. Not one person has presented on this thread any performance issues he had. Yes, they were bamboozled. It happens. It's wrong to say in the one instance that DEI needs to be reformed. Nothing needs to be reformed because of a single charlatan.
