White parent at a Title I school with an AMAZING black female principal. Familiar with PA through friends and from visiting CHML as a prospective parent. All these two educators have in common is that they are black female DCPS principals. Our principal is in a different (and far better universe) than PA.
I'm not trying to diminish the idea that people of color are often viewed as less competent than equally competent white people in every profession, including school leaders. That's real and it sucks. But that's not what's going on in this particular instance. PA is truly a disaster and I think the people calling her out aren't doing so because of her race.
