Dr. Marion Wilson was removed from her position as school superintendent of Staten Island’s District 31 in New York City on September 20, amid accusations of making racially charged statements, including allegedly declaring “no more white principals” in her district. After her removal, she was reassigned to a role at the New York City Department of Education’s Manhattan headquarters as a facilitator in the Leaders in Education Apprenticeship Program (LEAP), which focuses on promoting racial equity in training future school principals, The Gateway Pundit reported .
This move follows a period of controversy where Wilson faced allegations of discriminatory comments against white principals. Despite these accusations, which were widely shared online , an investigation in March by the Department of Education concluded that the claims were unsubstantiated. Wilson has maintained her innocence, expressing her dedication to improving education on Staten Island. She also reported receiving death threats related to the allegations.
