Bronx Catholic School, Populated by Black and Latino Students, Hires Known Racist as Principal

Bronx Catholic School, Populated by Black and Latino Students, Hires Known Racist as Principal


Frank Borzellieri, a conservative writer and educator with a history of publicly racist proclamations and campaigns, was hired as principal of the Bronx’s Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in 2009.

Prior to his position as principal, Borzellieri taught English at St. Barnabas School in the Bronx, where, among other things, he attempted to create a resolution to teach students the “superiority” of U.S. culture. While serving as a school board member in District 24 in Queens, Borzellieri pushed to ban “anti-american” literature from school libraries, which included a biography of Martin Luther King Jr.

In 2004, Borzellieri published a flame-spitting diatribe on “race realism” and diversity entitled Don’t Take It Personally: Race, Immigration, Crime and Other Heresies, where he asserts that “diversity is a weakness,” and the growing presence of Hispanic and Black populations will invariably lead to a “New Dark Age” in the United States. He regularly contributes to American Renaissance, a white supremacist monthly magazine that describes itself as “America’s premiere publication of racial-realist thought." Of the many studies and books gracing American Renaissance’s website, a few that stand out are: The Color of Crime, Hispanics: A Statistical Portrait, Anti-White Hate Speech.

But Borzellieri doesn’t just pen flimsy articles for the Renaissance. In 2000, he spoke at the American Renaissance magazine’s Fourth Conference. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the American Renaissance conferences are “usually a major hit in white nationalist circles and feature as speakers prominent white supremacists, academic racists and other extremists from around the world.” .............(more)
