Update: White Supremacist Principal of Bronx School Fired

August 3rd, 2011 - By Victoria Uwumarogie

And like clockwork, Frank Borzellieri, the controversial principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in the Bronx has been given the boot.

As we posted yesterday with help from our friends at theGrio, a lot of folks were up in arms about the fact that Borzellieri had been principal of Our Lady for two years without parents being aware of the fact that he held white supremacist views. When parents found out, many lashed out at the school, calling for him to be removed. Now it looks like he will indeed be asked to make a b-line for the door.

Borzellieri’s past writings and work that deemed a rise in black and Hispanic populations as the “New Dark Age,” (note, Our Lady is a school of black and Latino students) as well as his recent affiliation with white racialist magazine American Renaissance have come back to bite him in the behind. Joseph Zwilling, spokesman for the New York Archdiocese said in a statement yesterday that Borzellieri’s beliefs “were found to be incompatible with the philosophy and practices of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, and with Catholic schools throughout the archdiocese.” Borzellieri was hired in 2009. In an interview with CNN affiliate WCBS, his sister Maria claims that the writings he produced were done a long time ago, and that they didn’t impact his work for the school:

“He wrote these books a long time ago. I don’t know who’d drag them up. It has nothing to do with the type of principal he is today.”

Yet the last book Borzellieri wrote in reference to race, called “The Unspoken Truth: Race, Culture and Other Taboos,” was written in 2009. When he was hired. WOMP. Can’t really say I’m excited to see anyone get fired in this economy, but homeboy shouldn’t have been hired in the first place. A big BOO goes to him and the pastor who knew about his past but sweeped it under the rug cause he thought Borzellieri’s beliefs were “logical and reasonable.” While he could have possibly kept his opinions to himself as principal and done good work, I can’t help but think his decisions whether in the past or in the future, would be based off of his anti-minority and anti-homosexual beliefs. And I don’t really understand why he would want to work for a group of people he can’t stand…sinister much? Oh by the way, if you read about his axing on most “mainstream” news outlets, be prepared to ignore the comment sections. The anti-black “everything-he-said-about-the-black-race-is-true-cause-we-said-so” haters are rolling in…

    I thought the same when i looked at him he looks very ethnic !!! But alot of blacks need to apply to these white supremacy groups to eliminate you out of our race

  • legemeaux

    look at his hair and complexion. I wouldn't be surprised if he was part black. They say Hitler was part Jewish. We tend to hate the most what is within ourselves.

  • Citizenval

    White supremacist have no place in school. Specifically a school of non-white children. If he were a Muslim known to hating others (Americans) would also be removed. Ignorance, hate, and intolerance has no place, and never acceptable.

  • Betty

    He's wearing a St. John's University shirt. That's the crap they they promote at that school.

    @missy: I think you made a wrong turn walking from your over-eaters anonymous meeting Tee eM Zee is the site you're looking for honey

      Missyhas a valid point. Many of you spout your racist views, but you're not called on the carpet for it. A group of blacks can beat up on a white guy, but it's not a hate crime. A group of whites do the same thing and it's hate crimes and anything else they can throw at them.

      Nope….she has a point. And then you have to throw out insults for her point of view. Why? Why would you feel the need to do that?

      That's OK Missy. Racism abounds in EVERY culture. Blacks just feel entitled to theirs. They won't admit it, but that's the truth.

    Thank you.

    The Catholic church's flagrant disregard for children is astounding. The parents of this parish need to fire everyone on the hiring committee and clean house of those who knew and secretly supported his demented ideals. Then they need to find another religion because the Catholic church is a hornet's nest of psychosis.

  • IvanhoeBeanstalk

    Missy, I'm secretly thinking you should get off the computer & get some exercise. You are obese.

  • NEWHAIR5000

    well all i can say is…IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!.please that was probably the man's dream job,he might have been enjoying the fact that he could do whatever he wanted to those kids.and the truth is we might never know how far he took his beliefs into practice.as for the individuals who stood up for him…THEY KNEW!! please,i wouldn't by that BS about not knowing and that was in the past and blah,blah,blah.the school broad needs to be a little more careful about who they hire,to have a white supremacist running an all black/latin school isn't smart and it isn't right.they should also do background checks on the teaching staff as well.if there was a racist principle,then there's a good chance that there is a racist teacher as well.

  • NEWHAIR5000

    i seriously doubt that you are a chocolate man and if you are then please go get some mental help.

    Catholic School is the worse place to send your child for an education. I endured it and still carry the scars. I would never put my child through that. Does not surprise me, after all they let priest molest children without batting an eye.

    • Ruby

      Yup. I had my oldest at a Catholic school until 2nd grade. One day he came home and said it would be easier for him at school if he were white. The next year, we moved to an integrated community where he attended public school. He flourished and is in college. I didn't put my other kids through that crap.

    The reality is that many of the principals, teachers, and administrators of these schools hold similar views. They just don't have have books out that force their racism to be exposed.

    Parents of color need to be 2x as proactive in their child's education than others. Choose to meet with your child's teachers and administrators by choice. Get to know who these people really are. If it wasn't for my mother being so involved I don't know where I would be. I always tell the story about my 5th grade teacher who didn't have me take the math placement exam like everyone else because I started school a week late so i was in the regular math class. A white classmate who came in 3 days later was given the test and placed in the advanced math section. I remember mentioning this in passing to my mother. Of course she came in and talked to me principal and teacher and demanded I was given that test. I ended up being placed into the gifted math section and was on that track throughout middle and high school. My major in college now is mechanical engineering…thats why I say who would have known where I would be if it wasn't for her actions. I will never know why my 5th grade teacher didn't think my taking the placement test was necessary ..maybe she was racist maybe she wasn't, but the point is that education is too important to not be proactive about it.

    Has this world gone crazy when we keep seeing examples of nonsense & continue to repeat it…you can’t get rid of your past once you take it public. However, many thanks too many that did… We don’t need your leadership!
