White supremacist principal running Bronx school with majority black and Latino students

White supremacist principal running Bronx school with majority black and Latino students: A firebrand educator with ties to a white supremacist group is running a Bronx Catholic school where most of the students are black and Latino, the Daily News has learned.

Frank Borzellieri, 48, was quietly promoted to principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School two years ago - despite a history of controversial writings and campaigns, including a push to ban a biography on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

In 2004, Borzellieri wrote the book 'Don't Take It Personally: Race, Immigration, Crime and Other Heresies,' in which he declares 'diversity is a weakness' and says the rising black and Hispanic populations in America will lead to the 'New Dark Age.'

He has also written frequently for the white supremacist publication American Renaissance, with which he is still 'intimately involved,' the non-profit Southern Poverty Law Center says.
