(Providence, RI)--Rhode Island Education Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green [[ ahn-HELL-ick-uh in-FAHN-tay ]] says personal attacks against her are "not OK".Infante-Green spoke at a state Council on Elementary and Secondary Education meeting on Thursday after a senior adviser claimed earlier this week she was being targeted by racist comments.The adviser also alleged that the Providence Teachers Union is trying to, quote, "take down the commissioner".Infante-Green was recently removed from contentious contract negotiations with the union.Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza on Wednesday called for the state to apply the same law that was used for the takeover of the Providence School District to make changes to that contract.
