Potty Mouth from Racine Schools Superintendent

Last Thursday this was in the You Know Moore column in the Racine Journal Times.

Which sets the Racine area up for another thrilling round of mutual distrust. Step right up and take your shot in the Referendum Game. Eric Marcus, this year’s apparent poster boy for the “no” vote, clearly hasn’t been swayed. He grilled Hicks about the union deal during the comment period, then walked out of Monday’s meeting in a huff after a one-on-one talk with the superintendent.

An enquiring mind might like to know what went on in that one on one conversation...

Marcus asked the Spuerintendent why he would not allow an independant legal review of the new teachers contract. (you heard about it I'm sure it is the one that was done in super-duper secret nehind the scenes fashion)

Hicks responded by calling Marcus an asshole and walking away.

That is why Marcus left in a huff.

As if it was not bad enough that Hicks was stooping to that level, I have confirmed that Hicks went and bragged to a school board member about calling Marcus an asshole after the fact.

So this is the leader of the Racine schools, obviously not concerned in the least about the opinion of the citizen.

I do understand that Marcus has called for Hicks to be replaced, but that should not allow him to stoop to the potty mouth level. In fact Hick's behavior, in my opinion, shows Marcus was 100% correct in making that claim.
