Dr. Claude Tiller Jr., the Wisconsin school superintendent, recently stepped down from his role following controversial remarks made on an Atlanta radio show.
During a candid moment off-air, he referred to a district principal using inappropriate language and commented on the lack of racial diversity among teachers in his district, which is predominantly white despite having a diverse student population.
Tiller was in Atlanta at the time to address challenges in public education and recruit more teachers of color.
Tiller also took time during the interview to insult the community that elevated him to one of the highest levels in his field, saying, “The mindset in Green Bay, Black and brown folks, it’s almost like stepping back in time. So I have to go debunking some micro-aggressions before I even go into.”
When the show’s host characterized the town’s racial makeup as “lily white,” he doubled down, saying, “A lily on top of a lily.”
According to Spectrum News 1, Tiller also told the audience his reaction to moving to Green Bay was, “I said, Lord, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go to no white district.”
WATCH:
The school board approved Tiller’s resignation and expressed gratitude for his contributions.
According to NBC26, Tiller will receive over $250,000 as part of the resignation agreement.
According to the deal, received by NBC 26 through an open records request, the district will pay Tiller a lump sum of $250,833.
The agreement states that payment includes 10 months of pay plus cash for benefits — dental, medical, vision — for the 15 remaining months of his contract.
Tiller will also receive compensation for retirement and $5,000 to cover his legal fees as well, according to the deal.

I’m always amazed how a racist gets away with calling others racist. I also lament the black privilege that gets on $250k plus benefits of the “lily white” Green Bay taxpayers for a self induced resignation. It’s Harvard/Gay all over again.
How about we focus on getting more GOOD teachers and not worry about the color of their skin. And maybe get a superintendent who can do basic math. 90.2% Caucasian teachers and 61.5% Black and Brown? That math ain’t mathin’.
If he resigned, why is he being paid for the next 15 months? Scandalous!
That’s what I’M screamin’!
I am so glad the demon-rats brought back racism, toward the Jews. We can call them coons, jungle bunnies and monkeys again
If he had been white and said that about black folks he wouldnt have been given a penny for being a racist like this guy.
I was suggested this web site by my cousin Im not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my trouble You are incredible Thanks
Pete’s right! He’s being rewarded for being a racist!
What is he talking about? If he was respectful, competent and well-intentioned towards all, including the “lily” white existing population (they say that like it’s a bad thing), he might be surprised at how little people really care, REALLY, about his skin color. But he’s coming in with a WHOLE lot of baggage and preconceived notions, aka prejudice.
If he dislikes whites so much why did he take the job? Looking at this statement would he prefer to go back to segregated schools? That’s what it looks like.
I hope Tiller becomes so distraught he jumps in front of a subway train or such.

I would hope someone as racist as this would not be employed in our educational systems.
Educating children should be based on qualifications not skin color. Obviously no child left behind
produced these hate filled racists. If they had half a brain they would never spout this leftist dribble.
Good breeding always shows!
This is the perfect webpage for anyone who really wants to find out about this topic.
