City Hall Related Rob Ford: Don Bosco

Don Bosco: The decision does not appear to be related to the crack cocaine scandal Ford is now facing which centres on a video in which Ford appears to smoke crack cocaine and refer to Don Bosco players as just f---ing minorities. Director of education Bruce Rodrigues had been reviewing Fords role at Don Bosco since March, and spokesperson John Yan said Fords dismissal was finalized before the scandal erupted last week, according to The Star. The review was prompted by an interview with Sun News in which Ford made comments that were called inaccurate by Don Boscos parent council, many teachers at the Etobicoke school, and even the offensive coordinator on Fords coaching staff. Among other contested statements, Ford said that Eagles players would not attend school if not for the football program, that many players come from gangs and from broken homes, and that Don Bosco is a tough school in a tough area.
