Boston School Committee Chairman Criticizes the Superintendent of Boston Schools (1976)

champion may be viewed by some of the people of this city. Surely you are aware of the general unpopularity of Judge Garrity's orders the distress he has caused many of our citizens many of them remain bitter and they will not take kindly to one who appears to be using judge Garraty to further her career. We do not need their wrath to further aggravate a dangerous situation situation. Finally your re-entry into the political arena may have seriously compromised your ability to function as a peacemaker in our schools. The superintendent must give the appearance of impartiality to people on both sides of the busing issue. Your attack on certain groups may have the effect of putting your impartiality in doubt. In fairness to you madam superintendent I ask that you have if you have an

explanation for your remarks which differs from the observations I have made above. If so I would be happy to hear them. If not I would suggest that you take some time off. We flecked appoint a course of action which will serve the best interests of all concerned.
