Susan Givens Should Heed Her Own Advice

In her letter addressed to the Newmarket Community dated March 26, 2021, Superintendent of Schools Susan Givens states the following:

“We strive to be an inclusive and diverse organization and as such, we strongly condemn all acts of violence, discrimination, bullying, hate, and bias against all people.”

The above statement from Givens is rendered meaningless because Givens herself engages in bullying, hate, and bias. For her to advocate against these issues is the proverbial pot kettle analogy.

Givens has been actively engaged in acts of bullying, hate, and bias against me since her very first day as superintendent of Newmarket. She has executed these acts at taxpayer expense through school district attorney Barbara Loughman.

Givens’s acts of bullying, hate, and bias against me are manifest in the legal actions taken by Givens and the school board against me, with full knowledge that their actions were unethical, illegal, and immoral.

Givens is a bully of the worst kind. She has abused her position as superintendent, a position with the ability to engage an attorney at taxpayer expense, in order to carry out her acts of bullying, hate, and bias.

Newmarket is in desperate need of a new school board, superintendent, and district attorney. I fear the only way this is going to happen is if the state intervenes and takes over these responsibilities which is something I believe should have happened long ago.
