East Ramapo Lorenzo Labitigan speaks before being attacked by D'Agostino

[rizzlaxl]

i sure am glad i moved away from spring valley in 96. I can see its all over now. The Hasidim are now the school board. I dont see how that is possible. shouldnt a board member have to have children in public school. makes me sick to see this. but im glad i live in the south now.

Go Lorenzo!

[wisdom360]

What a mess! These devils are out of control.

[VABkWrm]

The students conducted themselves like responsible and respectful adults, and there was no problem.

The "lawyer" had a hissy fit and brought the whole thing to a screeching halt. Sadly, that figures.

[PROUD2BfromRamapo]

Today, RASHAWN DYE, the young man fighting passionately for our right to speak at the end of the video, got into STANFORD UNIVERSITY. We couldn't be any prouder. But we honestly also aren't the least bit surprised.

CONGRATS, RASHAWN!!!!!!!!!!!

[BaronWVS]

Wow, what a thug.

[1Pachooch]

I cannot believe the attorney's response to the student! Lorenzo spoke passionately and well, yet this so called professional answered him like a thug. This is an attorney? Perhaps someone should remind him that he is the adult here. What a terrible role model he is!

[StephanieBuenviaje]

Wow, that D'Agostino is so unprofessional. Calling you ignorant. Obviously, he's the ignorant one. Good job, Lorenzo! And Rashawn, propssss (:

[themaypang]

Yes Lorenzo, this guy is an overpriced lawyer who has no respect for others who speak against him. I find the Board equally disgusting for not allowing you to finish your speech. You hit a nerve and wanted to stop you before the lawyer put his foot in his ivy league mouth. He needs to go to a school for manners and respect. I would never use a lawyer like him because of his lack of professionalism as shown in this video. Why are these guys on the Board? Their kids don't go to public school?

[ctweathers]

Not only does D'Agastino have thin skin, the guy is nothing but a bully as evidence by this video. I know enough about him to say that. What a cowardly school board you have in East Ramapo to decide to hide into executive session when challenged. I feel terribly sorry for the taxpayers there.

[monseymonkey]

Lorenzo, You are a truly a gentleman and a scholar! The majority of this board has disdain for any one who does not share their lifestyle. That lawyer truly is practicing "the world's oldest profession" when it comes to these folks. I wish you all the success that your hard work deserves, and when you settle down to raise a family, choose a place to live far from this self serving group!

[StealthAssasin1]

Compare this Credentials with another Highly Qualified lawyer whos pay is way lower than his, then see what he says. Worst actions I've seen from a lawyer who has "good" Credentials.

[xPuReVisioN]

what the hell is that old guy doing up their you should've told him to get off before he gets a heart attack better yet keep him up their it'd be better without him anyway

[KingBobbles]

WOW. You did the right thing Lorenzo! : )

That lawyer deserves a punch in the face. It's sad to see what's happening in this district and I'm happy you stood up!

[xd0rkysmile]

LOL . disruption .. he has no right to go against what you say . Like said its a freedom of speech . Besides, I find it low of him to see him talk back , during your speech . every voice should be heard , yet they ignore it . Even to Rashawns anger ..

[brenz311]

I saw a posting for a library media position in East Ramapo but after seeing these videos on youtube I couldn't bring myself to apply. Its scary how some people are completely destroying a once highly admirable school district. I am so impressed with your bravery to stand-up, speak out and share with the world. You have my unwavering support. All the best to you!

[daliahuerta14]

Lorenzo you say the right words and you are so right...but what really got to this ASS HOLE is that you told him the truth and he just couldn't take it.. and if he said that he went to an ivy league school that is a total lie because with those manners and rudely attitude i don't think so. and that is why RAMAPO HIGH SCHOOL is the way that is because of corrupted people like this old douche bag!!!

[SGTxPINOY]

Wow a lawyer who is over priced and immature. who goes off on someones time to talk. show some respect D'Agostino and you'll earn some.

thumbs up to Mr. Dye standing up for his fellow classmate

[colorico92]

[wholesofparodox]

[reeeenzy]
