Harriet Thompson: Another Setback for Judicial Diversity
Nakita Blocton is not the only Woman of Color to lose her position as judge recently. From New York:
“Based on serious allegations of bias and discrimination, confirmed by an investigation by our Inspector General, Surrogate Court Judge Harriet Thompson has been relieved of her case docket, effective immediately, and the matter referred to the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for further action as they deem appropriate,” said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for [the Office of Court Administration].
The public was not told the specific reasons she was pried out of power, only that an “extensive investigation” had substantiated “serious allegations of misconduct.”
Ex-Judge Thompson appears to be insane. When the Daily News tried to get her side of the story, she cryptically remarked, “You know what really happened. You know better than I do.” Then she referred to Shabbat, suggesting that Jews have it in for her.
The judge has made unprompted remarks about Judaism at least three times when contacted by a News reporter who has covered dysfunction in Surrogate’s Court for nearly a year.
The identity-obsessed Thompson has a problem with people who hire too many “young white males.” She has also been accused of homophobia, possibly explaining her downfall.
It is hard to believe this woman would have become a judge in a color-blind world of merit. Affirmative Action has played a dangerous role in placing people in positions of authority.
For every Harriet Thompson or Nakita Blocton who is so awful that they are actually removed, there must be dozens more who are merely very bad, and who stay in power for decades.
