Radio Personality Darren Muhammad accuses BCPS CEO Dr. Andres Alonso of assault
Nobody is listening about the BCPS CEO Dr. Andres Alonso

(BALTIMORE – March 4, 2010) – To not stand up as a man – let alone a journalist – and speak up for the children under the guise of the Baltimore City Public School (BCPS) system – out of which I am a proud product – and continue to raise the question about it’s leader, Dr. Andres Alonso, who is in charge – regardless of the political, economic, and/or social ramifications – is simply an act of cowardice.
In the perpetual words of DMX, “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.”
For weeks now, I have personally watched as Brother Darren Muhammad’s video views have soared beyond compare. He accuses Dr. Alonso of assault.
And, to date, there has been absolutely no recourse. For the record, to date there has been no response from the BCPS or from Dr. Andres Alonso. For the record, I sent a request to the communications department for a response via video, radio, or print. Mind you, this is all on camera. Check the tape.
Pardon my judgement, but something seems fundamentally wrong, especially when former Baltimore City Police Commissioner Kevin P. Clark was immediately ousted for an alleged domestic incident. How come nobody is asking any questions about Dr. Alonso?
He is in charge of our children’s education. Need I say more? Prompt any questions from you? I say, we need answers … now. Right now, the Baltimore City delegation in Annapolis could possibly call Dr. Alonso on the carpet.
Right now, the Baltimore City Council could also do the same. Darren Muhammad, for the record, is a passionate media personality who believes in what he is doing. Further, I have known Darren for 26 years and played football with him at our beloved Dunbar. He was a star running back, despite his size.
If Dr. Alonso assaulted him, my first question is what actually transpired? My next question, despite Darren’s tenacity on the radio and record for banging people in the head with his comments, is why no one is listening …. besides the children with whom we are charged … by God … to love?
Is Darren wrong?
