Baltimore County Public Schools is working to confirm the integrity of the recording, in which Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert allegedly ranted about Black students’ low test scores, teacher “inadequacies” and Jewish families.
Baltimore County Public Schools has launched an investigation into an alleged audio recording of a principal making racist and antisemitic comments about students and staff.
According to
TheGrio contacted Eiswert and received an automated response that said, “I am currently out of the office with no access to email,” directing us to reach out to his supervisor, Kyria Joseph, for immediate assistance.
According to WMAR-2, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski described the circulated statements as “abhorrent” and said his administration fully supports the BCPS as they conduct a thorough investigation.
“Hate, discrimination, and prejudice have no place in our community,” said Olszewski, “especially in our schools.”
