Public School Principal Berates Christian Student; Calls the Bible a “Work of Fiction” and says
constitution.com ^ | April 28, 2017 | Onan Coca

Posted on 04/29/2017 9:26:32 AM PDT by lowbridge

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.

He’s “in the public forum” too and has just as much right to be there AND be an asshole.

hmmm...please read post 15 if you want to know why he should be dismissed, as he failed miserably at what an adult administrator is expected to do...

also, his usage of profanity directed towards a student of his school cannot possibly be tolerated; it’s unacceptable for a teacher to do so, and it’s even more unacceptable for an administrator...

Churches are more and if the worst happens any taxes will be furnished by the Lord.

churches are more ‘what’, exactly...? This sentence as written is devoid of meaning...

Arrogant hateful SOB. The pic accurately captures his persona, apparently.

That’s the most excellent thing to call for.

And then when He does, ascribe it to Him. Not to genius politics.

The Chess match way of playing out this scene is to get the doucheocracy official to call on the authorities

guess you weren’t watching; the kid openly invited him to call on the ‘authorities’, not once, but twice...if the douchebag doesn’t fall into your cleverly laid trap, what’s your plan B...?

Yes, but you see how something like this generates a bunch of outrage that can only end up providing media fodder to the forces of darkness. Both sides are legally within bounds and as it stands the adult authority figure is the one coming across as an irrational jackass.

That public image changes the instant someone steps up for the kid in the debate sphere and kicks the guys ass or if there’s a huge torrent of phone and email harassment. It provides a ready storyline for the media that immediately shadows the underlying issue.

If they could have gotten the guy to get the cops there and cite or arrest them it would have been a huge victory which would have served to put the school administration in check with respect to how their representatives conduct themselves in public.

The optimal outcome of confrontations between citizens and leftist/anti God forces is that the latter repeatedly attempts their shenanigans with results akin to them hitting their heads against a brick wall of the legal system. If/when it has to come to blows, like say at Berkeley, then the Liberty loving side needs to be restrained enough that it’s impeccably clear that they kept themselves in check until the situation was intolerable.

If he’s “on the clock” I see your point.

How is “standing up in the debate sphere” anything evil?

Why give righteousness only one road to travel?

I wonder if this Principal is married...to a woman. I’m guessing not.

My exact first thought as soon as the vid started.

Kaaaaa-weer.

He is apparently “on the clock” as a public school official, standing in front of that school to see off students and parents as they depart the school; as such he has duties and standards of behavior incumbent upon him which are quite distinct from the “freedom of expression” of the ordinary citizen. I am sure that the school district has written standards of professional conduct and ethics which are being grossly violated here.

Not all gay-marry. Some are swinging bachelors.

At least the school may be forced to say that he doesn’t speak for them.

Then it plays out in the sphere of a “debate” and the actions of the administrator stand for the publics consideration.

There are a lot of ways this type of situation can play out and if you look at it from the standpoint of a bunch of libtards standing around a newsroom looking at the story angle of it and MOST of those story angles have the potential to turn out to be fodder that makes the conservative side look bad.

If the situation ends with the conservative individual in these situations looking calm and reasoned and the statist scum looking like freedom hating douchebags it’s a win.

oh, and BTW, you are entirely correct; he clearly is on the clock, as he is quite explicity wearing his administrative identity badge...
