"Release of Tapes Leads to Resignation of Black Superintendent in Wisconsin School District"

The Green Bay school district released a recording of its first Black superintendent, Claude Tiller Jr., making blunt comments about race relations and criticizing the community and a district principal during an appearance on an Atlanta radio show. Tiller resigned after the recording was made public, in which he referred to a female principal using a disparaging slang word and made comments about the predominantly white community in Green Bay. Tiller's remarks about systemic issues in public education and his experiences as an educational leader of color were cited in his statement following his resignation.
