The leader of the local and state NAACP chapters further denounced an alleged racist text from a Gateway School Board member and again called for him to resign during a virtual press conference Wednesday. Kenneth Huston, the Pennsylvania NAACP president, said Gateway school board member Paul Caliari’s text sent in February was racially discriminatory and “serves as an injustice to all students making an effort to acquire educational excellence.” Caliari is named as a defendant in a federal racial discrimination lawsuit that claims the school board chose Don Holl, a white man, as the district’s new athletic director in February over Korie Morton-Rozier, a white woman married to a Black man, after Caliari inquired in a group text with other board members whether she “date(ed) the darkies.”
