Skyy Fisher, Compton School Board Member, Calls Superintendent a 'Bitch' and Trayvon Martin a 'Faggot' (VIDEO)

Skyy Fisher, public official gone wild.

Update: "Skyy Fisher Will Not Be Fired From Compton School Board for Offensive Comments; He'll Have to Be Recalled by Voters."

Could the Compton Unified School District get any sleazier?

A concerned father named Sergio gave us a call this afternoon and directed our attention to a horrendous interview that CUSD Board Member Skyy Fisher, elected last November, recently gave to a bunch of his former buddies on their podcast, Pigzradio.

They were surprised to hear their man Fisher sounding all official and "acting serious" on KTLA...

... while discussing sex-crime allegations against a Compton middle-school teacher. So they gave him a call, for old times' sake.

Against all better judgment, Fisher called them back -- and proceeded to do more smack-talking than a sorority girl at a sleepover.

He begins by calling Trayvon Martin a "faggot black dude." Then, later on in the interview, he gleefully describes how wearing a hoodie to the CUSD board meeting will win him some PR points:

"In solidarity with this Trayvon Martin bitch, I'm trying to get on the news, so I'm wearing a hoodie at the whole board meeting," he says. "It's the perfect publicity stunt! I'm going to wear a hoodie, and the news is going to come out and I'm going to announce my candidacy for City Council, goddammit."

(Which, to be fair, is what every other politician across California and the nation did in the wake of Martin's murder -- exploited everyone's grief for air time. But at least they had the brains not to admit it on local radio.)

Fisher also takes it upon himself to disprove those sex-crime allegations against the P.E. teacher at Davis Middle School.

He says the alleged victim and her father, Gregorio Sanchez, have been lying that the teacher touched her inappropriately and made sexual comments.

"The daughter is doing bad in the class so she's trying to get back at the teacher," says Fisher. He's particularly brazen in describing Sanchez' appeal to the board: "Her father comes to board meeting, crying and shit to the board, talking about how his daughter been raped and all kind of bullshit," says the elected official.

Oh. We almost forgot. Fisher also unleashes a tirade against his boss, Superintendent Karen Frison, calling her a "bitch" for not getting back to him more promptly.

And he wonders why the school police chief "still hasnt given me my fucking law-enforcement badge."

The most sensible part of the conversation comes last: Fisher admits he woke up drunk that morning, and asks his friends, "Next time you guys have some cocaine or some lines, let me know."

Which kind of explains everything -- except how this guy got elected in the first place, and how he's still in office after this completely absurd cameo on Pigzradio.

"I was very upset," says Sergio, the dad who showed us the podcast. "It's embarrassing, it's distasteful, it's unprofessional -- and [Fisher] should be held to a higher standard."

From Fisher's glowing profile on the CUSD website:

Skyy was elected to the Compton Unified School Board of Trustees on November 8, 2011. At the age of 28 years old Skyy became the youngest member ever elected to the CUSD Board of Trustees, Youngest African American Elected Official in Los Angeles County and Southern California. A native of Compton; Skyy was born, reared and educated in public schools. HE IS A PRODUCT OF THE COMPTON EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
As a 3rd generation resident of Compton, Skyy comes from a family rich in education and community service. Skyy has represented students, education professionals and union members and their respective families in neighborhoods stretching from Compton to Washington, D.C. A champion for educational equality and organized labor, Skyy has earned a reputation as a passionate advocate who engages intricate issues on behalf of students, union members and their families.

To top it all off, the board member apparently went off on a OneCompton forum user named Maggie Morris after she criticized him for the radio spot. In what she claims is a private OneCompton chat transcript, a certain "Skyy D. Fisher" says, "hoe, close your legs" and "your life is crap bitch, get off my page." Among other obscenities.

We've contacted the Compton Unified School District for comment.

The district has been juggling all kinds of scandals lately, from the unaddressed sex-crime allegations to superintendents throwing around the city card to school-board bullies blocking charter schools from taking over failing campuses to, uh, porn star Sasha Grey reading books to children. And at the end, we always asked, who on Earth is in charge here?

Well, now we know.

I've been UNDER FIRE for my presence on Social Media... I told them its my generation's thing and therefore I SHALL CONTINUE

The same way Skyy got elected to Compton School Board is going to be the same way he tries to get out of this mess: with his mouth. At first glance, Skyy is the next generation of leaders from Compton. Dresses well, speaks well, says the right thing but underneath it all, you get what you heard on the Internet radio station. An immature, ignorant individual who doesn't know the role he is supposed to play in the community. A person who is trying to move on to the next big thing. As he stated in the radio show, it seems Compton City Council was next on his radar. Busting an Isadore Hall move! What makes me sad is that the Compton community loses all the time when people like him get away with things. He should be held accountable and Compton residents shouldn't wait for Skyy Fisher to do the right thing and resign. That woudn't be in his character. He needs to work on his issues on his own time.........not during his term. Compton residents should begin the process of a recall and find someone else who is ready for real leadership. A recall would show Skyy that Compton has dedicated voters who will not accept this behavior in their elected officials. A recall would allow the country to see that Compton will not stand for comments that divide. If Compton does nothing, then, unfortunately, many people will not be surprised. But I know Compton has dedicated people that have been hurt and dissapointed in what Skyy has created in our community. Compton elected officials need to know there are consequences when the community's trust is taken for granted and not valued. At the end of the day, the school board should represent the thoughts, opinions, and values of the residents of Compton. Skyy trampeled on them and has greatly misrepresented the Compton community. Important decisions are made for students and these underlying beliefs and attitudes always come out when school board members vote. I am angry that there is still a chance that this will be forgotten and ignored. That an apology here and some rehab will make everything good again. I do understand that we must protect our own but there are many other good, future leaders in our community that have not messed up and they need our support and mentoring. It is sad that we have to latch on and excuse actions of damaged goods. What everyone heard was the real Skyy behind closed doors and it slipped out for everyone to see. I do agree he should resign and focus on himself and make himself better. The job of the school board requires someone who has the time and their full attention. Something Skyy will not have for, at least, the next year. Skyy, please resign to prevent the Compton community from dragging this on through a voter-inititated recall. Please spare us future national embarrasement and money needed to have a special election. START THE RECALL PROCESS NOW!

Look at this class acts day job: http://eaaunion.org/eaa-staff/...Why would anyone keep him employed with his communication skills

EliminateRacism

No wonder the kids are screwed up in Compton and yes Skyy Fisher is a product of Compton. There's no hope for the children.

Byron

This is very funny to me. Mr. Fisher is a closeted homosexual himself. He use to date my best friend. Never thought he would be this hypocritical.

Kran Clay

That's usually the case!

Reshellsmith1

You are disgusting, Skyy damn ass Fisher

Chass

Skyy needs to take his HEAD out of his butt and resign, step down go somewhere else besides Compton. Compton has a bad enough name, we don't need his type of person in any office.

Fritz_The_Cat

If Skyy Fisher were white, he'd be tarred and feathered by now----- But you know we have to give those negros a break

C.R.

From a person who spent the last 12 years working for Compton Unified, and knows Skyy personally (just said I know him, not that I am friends with him) He now is unavailable for comment.....too bad he didn't learn to censor himself earlier, as Compton now has been given another black eye. Only this one has spread the nation..... I was just reading about it on the Huffington Post! The district office has been bombarded for the last couple hours by local news media and protestors. Hopefully the community wakes up and realizes that voting matters!! The citizens of Compton put him in this public position, shame on them if they leave him there.And to those of you who want to come with the defense whether or not he knew he was being recorded....1. He used to be a host of the show so he knew, or should have had enough sense to assume as such.2. When in any public or elected position, there is no such thing as speaking on your own behalf anymore.3. Never say anything you don't want repeated....even jokingly.4. Not knowing is just a sorry excuse.

Obviously "Jizzer " is not Black... " the nigs ".... Are you serious. Grow Up. Loser.

Kcurtis840

Why would anyone listen to him. There is. Much truth in the statement that you get the government you elect (deserve)

Carmen

Each culture/ race has an unclassy person in it. Not just blacks. Fisher does not represent the majority of Compton people. I know Blacks and Hispanics who represent Compton well. Fisher is classless, stupid, and needs to grow up. He does not represent Compton.

Taxpayer

Skyy Fisher is typical of most colored Comptonites. Ignorant, lazy, racist and usually unemployed except for their "Gobment Check"

Thatdimedon

Uhhhhhhh... Nigs dont run Compton...

Fred_Sanford

The hell they don't---- Been to a city council meeting lately? Those aren't Norwegians up there running the show!

Jizzer

Thats what happens when the nigs run the show in 70% hispanic town.

Decent_American

The Nigs have ruined Compton

EliminateRacism

Actually if you knew anything about history and migration you would know that most of the areas that are OVERPOPULATED with Hispanics were once predominantly Black neighborhoods. And Compton? Are you serious? Blacks have always been there maybe killing each other but Compton has always been a predominantly Black area. But no matter where you go the Mexicans dominant even in Santa Monica where I live. So really who's ruining what?
