Zach Ruff is an assistant principal in Downington, Pennsylvania and he really doesn’t like people who are pro-life, or Christian. Like, not at all.
On Wednesday, one of Ruff’s students, 16-year old Conner Haines, decided to express his opinion that abortion was wrong on the PUBLIC sidewalk that runs in front of his High School. Conner was joined by his 19-year old sister and the two held pro-life signs while telling passers-by that abortion was a murder but that they could find forgiveness in Jesus. Soon after they began their completely legal demonstration, Ruff appeared and the situation immediately grew ugly.
When Ruff arrives on the scene he tells them that they must leave or he will call the police. When young Conner replies that the sidewalk is public property and that he has every right to be there and then encourages Ruff to contact the police, Ruff turns to acting as a living wall and stands between the young protester and those passing by.
When Conner tells Ruff that the babies being aborted are “image bearers” of God, the principal tells the young man that he “can go to hell, where they are, too.” Think about that, a public school official just told one of his students that he can “go to hell” while also insinuating that the murdered children are also in hell. Does that sound like the kind of thing a man in his position should say? Does this sound like the kind of man that should be in authority over our children?
The two eventually debate the personhood of the unborn children with Ruff arguing that preborn babies aren’t children, they’re just “cells.” Ruff then adds that Conner is at a “science” based school, so he should believe in science.

Dear Headmaster,
Anti-Free Speech and the epitome of Bullying.
Zack Rugg’s behavior goes beyond a fireable offence. He should have a restraining order put on him to stay at least 100 yards away from any student forever.
Beg’s the question, how does is a man like Zack Rugg becomes an assistant principal anyway?
Please, for the sake of free speech and in defense of bullying victims everywhere, fire this man. He is an undignified disgrace to humanity.

Neither, he was sentenced to paid vacation.
Thanks for explaining it to be, henbane. How awful.
The Bible is, second of all, a history book.
After these corrections, I would agree with the rest of your post.
“””He teaches AP history, is the school’s “Academic Dean”... and is a doctoral candidate at Drexel U., so he is (by leftard standards) supposed to be on the upper end of public school teachers for intellectual quality. “””
No, it means he’s in charge of their grades and therefore should be regarded as a demigod.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Here is the email address of the School Board President. The School Board is the entity that will decide his fate.

all right...
This guy looks and sounds just like my atheist, ACLU-loving, brother-in-law. Self-righteous know-it-all.
Agree with you.
My question is, why are Christians and conservatives still sending their children into these foul institutions? It will only get worse.
As a Pre-Med Pre-Dent student in 1959, I was taking Quantitative Analysis Chemistry for 4 Credit hours (2 hours of lecture and 6 hour of lab per week). In talking with some of the education majors, I found that they were taking 4 Credit hour courses in bulletin board in which they learned how to cut out and post alphabets, leaves, etc. for a total of 4 hours per week class time. I am sure that in the last 50+ years the course has become even more rigorous! Sarc!!
You don’t have to know anything about Math, English, History, etc. to teach Math, English, History, etc., all you have to do is take the course in “How to teach Math, English, History, etc.”. No wonder the present day graduate has no knowledge of anything as they are taught by people who have no knowledge of anything and pass their knowledge on to their students!!!
If the kids were passing our Korans the principal would have been perfectly OK with that!
Hang tough Dewey.
Your bother-in-law bolstered recently by illegal activity will be one of the most depressed and loathsome creatures of 2018 and 2020 and 2024 and 2028.
He will shrivel and wither over time. He’s past denial and onto anger. Wait until he wants to bargain. Then you can laugh your ass off.
Either way, if your like me you smile every day and thank God for Donald Trump.

So the guy that thinks there is no God, still hangs onto the idea there is a hell.
Now there’s a real brain-trust.
Punch back twice as hard.

Standard boilerplate. Nothing will happen to him.
Hus union reps and lawyers will make him into a victim somehow.
When reading stuff like that, believe the opposite.
Ever notice that Blacks and Hispanics are never offended by these attacks on “their” religion???
No, he’s not “Gay!” He’s a flaming homosexual. I am no longer going to be quiet about the userpation of a perfectly innocent word. I’d appreciate your help, if you don’t mind!
Thanks!
