New York Assistant Superintendent ‘Covertly’ Pushing DEI Agenda Within School District; ‘Politics’ is ‘My Job Now’ … Claims His ‘Sexual Identity’ is Important to Make ‘Connections with Kids’; Reveals ‘Explosion’ of Trans Students in Wake of COVID Pandemic
Dave Casamento, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, East Meadow School District: “Here's the thing with DEI [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion] work -- if you push too hard doing the work and you get this pushback, it will be decades before you can do the work again. So, it needs to be incremental.”
Casamento: “Every district [in Nassau County] is doing it [DEI] covertly. Except for the black population.”
Casamento: “They [parents] honestly believe that systemic racism does not exist. They don’t understand why we have to talk about LGBTQ issues. Or have books that have LGBTQ themes in them.”
Casamento: “Politics is basically my job now. I am political in every conversation I have. I never thought I’d be at this point in my life. I am, and it is what it is. If you can do the game, you can do the good work.”
Casamento: “My sexual identity was always a part of my work because I believe in making connections with kids.”
Casamento: “So, the conservative movement will say -- and I got to tell you, I am not opposed to this question: ‘Why do we need to sexualize kids at a young age?’ After the pandemic, we had an explosion of trans kids, and I’m like, ‘How could this be?’”
