The California Department of Education is facing questions over why it is paying a six figure salary to an individual who has been tasked with overseeing “equity” initiatives in the state’s schools despite his residing in Philadelphia which is over 2,500 miles away.
According to a report by Politico, Daniel Lee, who is described as a “psychologist, life coach and self-help author,” was hired to serve as California’s first superintendent of equity, a capacity that he has served in since last summer where he pulls down a salary of “up to $179,832” despite a resume that “shows no prior experience in California or relationships with school districts in the state.”

Obviously, corruption and stupidity.
The real question here is who needs to get fired. Not for hiring this guy but for not doing a better job covering it up from the public.

Yeah, there it is. He's a longtime buddy of the California State Superintendent and they worked with one another in Philly for over 20 years. Cronyism.

Many, many moons ago, another San Francisco democRAT stated about elections "if we don't win, we don't eat." The idea of getting a real job and working, saving money is abhorrent to these creepozoids. They are just 'spreading the wealth' around, don'tcha know.

There's a lot of this going on. I'm telling you, the left is stealing our taxpayer dollars left and right. If Lee gets fired, as he should, you'll have to do a follow up investigation to find out what kind of lucrative exit package he got, how he got it, and where he got it from. That's always how this story goes. "If this gets exposed, don't worry, we'll make sure you're taken care of; it will all be fine."

How many other school districts and state education departments is this guy working for ?
Syracuse school district,. a decade ago, had a problem with black student violence, suspension, and expulsions. The NYS education department ordered the Syracuse district to hire a consultant, which they did - the black,.female consultant living in Maryland, hired for a six figure salary, never came /moved to Syracuse. She did collect her salary, though..
This sort of racial education pimping, hiring friends, is all over the place.

Of course he needs to start at a high salary. The job is more difficult when you don't know what you are doing.

Do I smell corruption? If it's a Democrat contract and California, no surprise there. It's par for the course.

At least this person is in the same country. Some years ago, while doing an audit of Baltimore City schools, they found that the school system was paying a principal to run one of the schools, and she lived overseas, and to anyone's knowledge, she had never been to the school.

Life is hard. It's even harder if you are stupid. It becomes even more difficult if you are from Calipornia.

Ha. This is right in line with CA State employees moving to low or no income tax states and taking their pensions with them.

Oh, the other one that I really liked: remember all those New Orleans police officers who were given a taxpayer paid vacation during Katrina because they were stressed out - and didn't show up back to work? I have no proof of it, but I'd bet a pretty penny that they where getting rid of "ghost" officers - i.e. no show paychecks that either city politicians were getting paid for or "friends" (cough cough family members) of the city politicians who were getting paid because the lime light was getting a bit too bright.

We really should be complaining that such a ridiculous position exists in the first place. If we have to have a "Superintendent of Equity," best that he lives someplace else and can do less damage.

So if he lives in PA does he pay CA state income taxes?
Since teachers were totally against resuming in person learning makes you wonder where they live.
Most if not all those working for the California Department of Education could be fired and no one would notice. Same for The US Department of Education.
