Alonso demands Steele apology
Both the CEO and the governor had harsh words for the RNC chair tonight over his comments on CNN about Frederick Douglass High. And Douglass Principal Clark Montgomery said Steele can "eat it" as he gave Gov. O'Malley gear from the school at tonight's town hall meeting.
More to come in the newspaper in the morning (and on baltimoresun.com tonight)...






Comments
"Eat It"? Sounds like a real cheap shot to me. This is the best response the principal of a high school can come up with. I wonder how he would feel if a student in his office responded that way (actually that is most likely better then most of the responses his students give)? Our good Governor is mad and you better watch out. Pretty soon someone will get a letter with some stick figures drawn in it. At least Dr. Alonso walks his talk. What a predictable joke!! You watch tomorrow in the paper it will be presented as righteous and awesome, this response. People will be outraged at Michael Steele, and we will all know about it. I just hope some of that energy finds it s way to actually doing something to make life a little better for the students.

I believe Steele will not apologize. He saves that energy for people like Rush Limbaugh. He used the school for political gain, but left a broken promise when it was no longer on his political radar. For him to now hold it up as an example of failure is not only foolish, but uninformed in light of the progress it is making (no thanks to him!).
