MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay schools has released the recording of its first Black superintendent’s appearance on an Atlanta radio show where he made blunt comments about race relations, criticized the community and derided one of the district’s principals. The release of the tape Wednesday comes after the resignation under pressure of Claude Tiller Jr. on Saturday. He resigned after a closed door meeting with school board members who voted unanimously to accept his resignation. On the tape, Tiller refers to a female principal as a “wicked witch” and uses a disparaging slang word to describe her.
