DESCRIPTION:No More Racist Cover-ups, Discrimination & Physical Abuse And Bullying At 
 SF MLK School!\nSF DA George Gascón Do Your Job And Prosecute Eberhard, 
 Braxton & Pon \nFor Criminal Child Abuse!\nPress 
 Conference/Speakout/Rally\nTuesday February 19, 2013 12:00 \n850 Bryant St. 
 San Francisco\nLast February 2012 at the Martin Luther King Middle School 
 serving many of the students from Hunters Point and Bayview in San 
 Francisco, the principal Natalie Eberhard sat on a special education 
 student. Eberhard weighs over 300 lbs. and in  the incident the UESF 
 security guard Tobias Caine, was injured.\nDespite complaints to 
 Superintendent Richard Carranza and the SF School Board along with the 
 police there was no serious investigation and prosecution by the district, 
 the police and DA.\nInstead. the assistant principal Anthony Braxton lied 
 on a report about the incident and Eberhard and Braxton attempted to coerce 
 UESF teachers and SEIU 1021 staff to change their statements about the 
 incident. \n http://youtu.be/5zVuIU2dMmY\nSuperintendent Carranza has also 
 said that there was slander against Eberhard and a “full investigation” 
  has been done by the district.\nIn fact, there was no such full 
 investigation and the actual witnesses were never interviewed. After  a 
 press conference of parents, teachers and staff called by the USEF at the 
 school, the principal with the support of Associate Superintendent Jeannie 
 Pon actually bullied out of the school 17 staff members and recently 
 unsuccessfully tried to fire Tobias for his 
 whistleblowing.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nap7Y-KBUeo&list=\nA new 
 cover-up is now taking place by SF District Attorney George Gascón.  
 Gascón who spent more than $2 million in prosecuting Sheriff Ross 
 Mirkarimi has refused to have his investigators interview the actual 
 witnesses to this incident in his ongoing investigation about the MLK 
 incident.\nGascón knows that assistant principal Anthony Braxton falsified 
 documents concerning the incident and that he tried to coerce Caine to 
 change his story to do damage control for Eberhard.\nThis criminal cover-up 
 itself is a felony but the latest development is that assistant principal 
 Anthony Braxton has been rewarded by Deputy Superintendent Gurrero to 
 “support the work of the math common core standards and literacy in the 
 SFUSD curriculum and instruction division and this is supported by 
 Associate Superintendent Pon who herself has been involved in covering up 
 the physical abuse. These are all criminal felonies since the cover-up of 
 criminal abuse is a serious crime.\nIt is time to demand justice on the 
 commemoration of Black History Month in San Francisco. The school board 
 also refuses to make sure the Black workers in Hunters Point and Bay View 
 get work at the new school now being 
 built.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1DVz4mA0HA&feature=youtu.be\nThe 
 systemic discrimination against Black and Latino residents while pushing 
 more testing and having companies like Bechtel, Pearson and other into the 
 schools is further evidence of privatization. There is still no music and 
 arts program at MLK which Eberhard eliminated but Carranza is giving 
 thousands of dollars to the corrupt company Pearson Inc. to do 
 psychological testing on the students. It’s time to demand justice and 
 accountability of the management of the SFUSD and prosecution for criminal 
 activity.  We cannot let Gascón off the hook. Support the full  
 investigation and prosecution of MLK Principal Natalie Eberhard, Assistant 
 Principal Anthony Braxton and Jeannie Pon, Associate Superintendent for 
 Middle Schools.\nBullies out of the Schools and Restore the Music and Art 
 Program At MLK Middle School\n\nSponsored United Public Workers For Action
