School Daze – Racism Has No Place In Everett

We have been contacted by a member of the Keverian School Community who has knowledge of the alleged racist incident involving Robin Babcock and a school employee.  According to our source, Robin Babcock allegedly made racist gestures and comments when meeting this employee.  Apparently, this employee has filed more than one complaint against her.

Our Keverian School source told us that strong evidence was presented to the school committee.  Also, the administrators and staff are supporting this employee’s complaint against Robin Babcock.

The school committee voted to move into executive session to discuss the matter.  Before doing so, School Committee Woman Samantha Lambert stated, “This body has no authority to discipline or revoke status of another committee member.”  This statement is false.  Every elected body has the authority to discipline any member they feel has acted inappropriately by asking them to resign or whatever else they feel is appropriate.  This is the same school committee member that is very selective in her actions and chooses not to take action on employees who violate school policy and law.

During public comment, a person stated that Robin Babcock has been referred to as being honest and truthful.  All of you must remember during her campaign she claimed she was a professor at UMass Boston.  She still claims that occupation in Everett’s street listing book (Page 98), which is composed from the annual city census.  After being questioned on her professorship, she quickly retracted her job status.  Her actual job title is a Writing Program Manager which is listed on the UMass Boston website.  As the Everett Advocate stated in our Trick or Treat article on November 3, 2023, “don’t be tricked by Robin Babcock who claims to be something she isn’t.”

The committee took no action and will address this at their next meeting on May 20^th.
