Well, we suppose if this man teaches social studies, he’d know better than anyone why a statue of Christopher Columbus deserves to be vandalized. We only wonder if his students feel the same way because of his teaching or if he keeps these sorts of feelings to himself and expresses them outside of school by throwing paint.
Derrick Garforth is listed as a social studies teacher with the Pawtucket School Department.
“I have just learned about this and the Pawtucket School Department is investigating it,” said Superintendent Cheryl McWilliams in an email.

WPRI in Providence, Rhode Island reports:
Three people were arrested early Saturday morning for vandalizing the Christopher Columbus statue in Providence.
One of the suspects arrested, Derrick Garforth, is listed on the website for Jenks Middle School in Pawtucket as a social studies teacher. Pawtucket Superintendent Cheryl McWilliams told WPRI 12 on Saturday afternoon that Garforth is out on leave pending an investigation.
“I have just learned about this and the Pawtucket School Department is investigating it,” McWilliams said in an email.
…
All three suspects were charged with desecration of a grave or monument and conspiracy. They were arraigned at the Public Safety Complex and released.
We’re pretty sure he’ll be back in the classroom this fall or at least teaching virtual classes online.
GREAT JOB!

I’m positive they’ll give him teacher of the year award along w his own parking spot. Hope I’m wrong but schools are too liberal

If I were a parent at that school I would be very angry. They had better get rid of him. He’s dangerous.

Aside from police reform, we should also think about reforming education.
