OK, the newly hired Principal resigned, but what about the hiring committee that failed to do proper due diligence? They should be shown the door also.

Hey, it’s the NEA. Standards? They don’t need no stinkin’ standards.

“Holy crap,” Balthazor thought, “why are these people paying attention to this little journalism story from southeast Kansas?”

I wish a team of even high school students had looked into the thug from Indonesia/Hawaii/Chicago in as much depth!

“All of this was completely overlooked,” Balthazor said. “All of the shining reviews did not have these crucial pieces of information … you would expect your authority figures to find this.”

Yes you would. Yes you would.

Better information:

...Students journalists published a story Friday questioning the legitimacy of the private college — Corllins University — where Robertson got her master’s and doctorate degrees years ago.

U.S. Department of Education officials, contacted by The Star, confirmed student reports; the federal agency could not find evidence of Corllins in operation. The school wasn’t included among the agency’s list of schools closed since 1986...

...Robertson, who has lived off and on for 19 years in Dubai, United Arab Emirates...

K-12 education in the US has gone from the best to worse-than-mediocre in the last half century. It was led there by our MSED’s and EDD’s, the products of our schools of education.

Walter Williams hit the nail on the head five years ago:

Indeed. But I find it very, very odd that there is no picture of this person in either of the two articles I looked at. Even odder is that whoever wrote these stories thought that the names and pictures of the <18 year old journalists (at least one for sure) is okay but not one picture of this esteemed principal.

The Pittsburg Community School Board should be asked to resign for hiring this diploma-mill con artist.

School Administrators are this country’s highest-paid migrant workers. This is an unusually occurrence. Most of the time, when they are either “found out” or are seen as ineffective, the school board “pays them off” because of their muiti-year employment contract, and they move on to the next school district to wreak havoc there. Sorta double dipping because they are worthless.

This happened also at my private high school. They hired a PhD from a top university to teach Biology, and by the end of the first semester the smarter kids could tell they knew more about biology than he did. The students checked with that top university who said they never heard from him, and he was gone the next day.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

Can't argue with that.

Sounds like the principal was chosen by a “faculty committee”.

My wife works for a rather large medical organization.

As one of their PR people, part of her job is to do research on the backgrounds of people who are promoted or getting new positions.

I wish I could tell you she never uncovered a scandal. But some of them are just too easy to find.

The resignation thrust the student newspaper staff into local, state and national news, with professional journalists nationwide applauding the students for asking tough questions and prompting change in their administration.

The professional stenographers in the media, should take a lesson!

We could use some investigative journalists like these in the networks and major print news.

The problem is they would only be allowed to investigate conservatives and republicans.

Many people who work at schools are just dumb. The women who worked at our local school office used to send out “warnings” about various things to the parents. It was obvious their source of information was emails forwarded by friends.

I went in one day to show them how to do web searches for hoaxes. They didn’t know they could.
