Pickaninny Judge Probed Over Racial Adoption Stance
McKean County Judge, accused of calling black children pickaninnies, faces state probes by the Judicial Conduct Board and Welfare Department. The review follows reports that the court and local agency discourage bi racial adoptions in the largely white rural area. The judge has not publicly commented and reportedly has not blocked adoptions by bi racial couples, while an adoption agency says finalizing Asian or mixed adoptions is being limited. The Wojciechowskis of Ceres, Pa., pursuing a Korean adoption say county workers hinder their case, though Holt International and other parties are involved.
