Pine Bush schools Superintendent Joan Carbone is a classic anti-semite. If Cuomo was serious (and what took him so long?), then he would fire her on the spot. She did nothing when these unimaginable acts of antisemitic violence took place, and she has been actively campaigning to stop a proposed Jewish private school.
Carbone would not comment on the investigation, or on the rampant attacks on Jews district-wide.
