LONG ISLAND CITY HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS CHANGE! We are disgusted by the fact that the Assistant Principal of English Bloomfield resigned because of Principal Selenikas. She was faced with racism, discrimination, marginalization, and segregation in her career at Long Island City High School. Ms. Bloomfield’s reputation was broken down and disregarded. She was not given the rating that she deserved and she was forcibly asked to demote to a teacher. As a black administrator she was not given the same opportunity as her white colleagues. She was not able to pick novels that signified black injustice/excellence. Her responsibilities were taken away and she was no longer leading any student groups that she did an impeccable job in. Her voice was shut down. This has not been the first instance where a staff member felt excluded. Just a few years ago Mr. Scott, a gay black man also resigned due to the injustice he faced by her. As written in Ms. Bloomfield’s farewell letter there are only 5 percent of black teachers and that is only in the ISS department. She does not hire black teachers for other subjects. The staff is Long Island City high school is not as diverse because of how the Principal chooses her candidates. Why are the black teachers only good to teach special education students but not content subject areas? There have been many black students who also do not feel welcome by Principal Selenikas. She needs to resign now, not anyone else. There are adults in the building that care and show us empathy, and give us their world, but they will also leave if we don’t force this toxic leader to leave! We, as the students of Long Island City High school deserve a principal who shows us the same appreciation. Racism at Long Island City High School was exposed before :
¡LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA DE LONG ISLAND CITY NECESITA UN CAMBIO! Estamos disgustados por el hecho de que el subdirector de English Bloomfield renunció debido a la directora Selenikas. Se enfrentó al racismo, la discriminación, la marginación y la segregación en su carrera en la escuela secundaria de Long Island City. La reputación de la Sra. Bloomfield fue desglosada e ignorada. No le dieron la calificación que se merecía y le pidieron a la fuerza que la degradara a maestra. Como administradora negra, no se le dio la misma oportunidad que a sus colegas blancos. No pudo elegir novelas que significaran injusticia/excelencia negra. Le quitaron sus responsabilidades y ya no dirigía ningún grupo de estudiantes en el que hizo un trabajo impecable. Su voz fue apagada. Este no ha sido el primer caso en el que un miembro del personal se sintió excluido. Hace solo unos años, el Sr. Scott, un hombre negro gay también renunció debido a la injusticia que enfrentó por parte de ella. Como está escrito en la carta de despedida de la Sra. Bloomfield, solo hay un 5 por ciento de maestros negros y eso es solo en el departamento de ISS. No contrata profesores negros para otras materias. El personal de la escuela secundaria de Long Island City no es tan diverso debido a cómo la directora elige a sus candidatos. ¿Por qué los maestros negros solo son buenos para enseñar a los estudiantes de educación especial pero no a las materias de contenido? Ha habido muchos estudiantes negros que tampoco se sienten bienvenidos por la directora Selenikas. Ella necesita renunciar ahora, nadie más. Hay adultos en el edificio que se preocupan y nos muestran empatía, y nos dan su mundo, ¡pero también se irán si no obligamos a este líder tóxico a irse! Nosotros, como estudiantes de la escuela secundaria Long Island City, merecemos un director que nos muestre el mismo aprecio. El racismo en la escuela secundaria de Long Island City fue expuesto antes

This woman had the nerve to call my husband a racist years ago. The irony is not lost on me. She openly favors only her fellow Greeks.
This principal is on the wrong side of history. Her actions are deeply harmful because they bolster systemic racism, create a culture or bias and hinder students of color to see a greater vision for themselves. This needs to be investigated.
everytime i saw ms. bloomfield come out of the principals office she looked upset/uncomfortable
Honestly, this is so sad to hear because I’ve know Ms.Bloomfield since freshman and I used to give her a hard time lol. But she always gave me a second chance or a pass grade because she knew I had potential and she’s a kind person. This is so sad and disgusting to hear about happen to her.
A young boy was able to enter the school and tried to stab my son this was swept under the rug and the parents were not notified. Interesting how many other things she did while under her leadership hope she goes soon for the sake of the kids life
doing this for my people and BHM...GET HER OUT OF THERE
She's disgusting like really imagine being racist in a school full of black and Hispanic students it's so embarrassing.
