NAACP renews call for Paducah superintendent's resignation, calls on school board to improve diversity practices


Paducah Public Schools Superintendent Donald Shively
PADUCAH — The Paducah-McCracken County NAACP is renewing its call for the resignation of Paducah Public Schools Superintendent Donald Shively in a statement released Thursday afternoon.
The local NAACP chapter first began calling for Shively's resignation in October, after a photo of him in blackface — which Shively has said was taken in 2002 — surfaced online.
When the photo began circulating online, Shively contacted WPSD. He said the photo was taken in a moment that should never have happened, expressing regret for his actions. He said he has never treated any student differently because of their race. "I would want to stress that's not what I think and if you look at decisions we made as a superintendent and board that does not go in line with that imagery," Shively said. "I understand why you would think that and I would want to have dialogue about how we move forward from that."
