Reginald Malone

I, along with many others wrote a letter to the editor in response to an article in the October 19, 2003 edition of the Richmond Times Dispatch.  The text of my letter is below as are links to the Original Article and Malone's response.

As a teacher and a lifelong resident of the city of Richmond I am outraged by the remarks of School Board member Reginald M. Malone Sr.  How can we, the citizens of this great city, ever expect to get the kind of school system of which we can all be proud when we have school board members who show so little support for their teachers?  Mr. Malone suggests that Ms. Hamlin was at fault for being thrown to the ground and beaten by a young man at least thirty five years her junior.  According to the incident report, the student was using the classroom telephone, and Ms. Hamlin asked him to end the conversation three times before taking it from him.  It seems to me she gave him ample opportunity to tell her if there was some sort of emergency.  However, according to Mr. Malone, “You’ve got to be careful who you take the phone from.  He could say, ‘I was on the phone with my mama and she had an accident.’”  Even if events did not occur exactly as described in the report, the fact remains that Ms Hamlin was thrown to the ground and beaten to the extent that she had to be taken to the hospital.  Nothing she could have done, or not done, warranted that, Mr. Malone.  Get well soon, Ms. Hamlin.

A student physically assualted a teacher and there was actually someone who thought she was somehow accountable for it for taking the phone from him?!
The emergency excuse doesn't work at all, the young man could have told the teacher that from the start. I have a hard time believeing a kid that would assault a female for something like that would have alot of concern for anyone else, even his mother.
It's sad that we now demand so much from teachers, but can't keep them safe in class.
