Race-Baiting Jackass Won't Run

Apparently, making baseless charges of racism takes a lot out of a guy.

Chris Stewart says he's grown from his time on the Minneapolis school board. Great, Rahelio... that sounds like you're pretty selfish. In spite of personal growth he wants to go elsewhere to continue his journey into adulthood, meaning he doesn't like his chances running to keep his seat on the school board after continuing to smear folks with the libelous and slanderous charges of racism.

Or, perhaps he was told earlier not to run.

"The school board experience has been super helpful, and I've learned a lot, but it also opened up other avenues that I think I need to pursue to do more."

This guy is on a school board and says that it was "super helpful"???

Regardless of how he likes to write (and as Rahelio Soleil, he certainly did like to write), he recognizes that he has a problem... and we all know how the first step to personal betterment is the acknowledgment that you have a problem. We believe Chris Stewart is correct in his assessment and have tried to get him to recognize that fact.

We're glad to be of service to you Chris Stewart / Rahelio Soleil.

Now, can you please stop yourself from calling people racists?

Star-Trib columnist Jon Tevlin's piece from yesterday mentions the unfortunate case with a school principal tarred by Chris Stewart's charge of racism.

The "case file" apparently doesn't include anything about the alleged incident... but it includes such shocking and grievous transgressions as these:

Cadotte let a few checks leave the building without two signatures, against district policy. No wrongdoing is alleged, just haste...

Cadotte allegedly violated media policy. A photographer snapped a shot of a student hugging Cadotte. Turns out he had permission on file to hug that student, he just didn't know it at the time -- a violation.

MPS said Cadotte violated policy against free outside legal help. In fact, Cadotte said he paid his attorney, but he refused to answer questions about it because it was attorney-client privilege.

It also looked into accusations that Cadotte made racially offensive remarks and found he did not.

Evidently, Stewart eventually did meet with Cadotte and the two settled the matter after a couple of hours... for what it is worth.
