DOWNINGTOWN, Pa An assistant principal at Downingtown STEM Academy has been placed on administrative leave after a video captured him screaming and cursing at two teenage abolitionists outside the school Friday afternoon.
Sixteen-year-old Conner Haines and his 19-year-old sister Lauren went to the school to talk to students about the abortion holocaust and share the Gospel with them. Abolitionists frequently take signs and literature to the public sidewalks outside high schools as part of Project Frontlines, a nationwide effort to expose high school students to the evil of abortion, challenge their worldviews, and show the way of salvation from sin through Jesus Christ. The siblings brought three signs, bearing messages such as We Are Attempting to Bring Your Apathy Into Conflict With Their Death and We Are Ambassadors of Jesus Christ, Pleading from God, a Message of Reconciliation.
The pair said they had only been on the sidewalk for a few minutes when Assistant Principal Zach Ruff approached them. A video of the confrontation captured by Conner Haines shows Haines calmly reasoning with Ruff, who appeared visibly agitated from the beginning of the conversation.
Haines tried to explain that he was there to raise awareness about the holocaust. Pointing at his sign, on which was a photo of a murdered preborn child, Haines said, Sir, these are image bearers of God.
You can go to hell, where they are too, Ruff answered, gesturing to the child on the sign. He then turned and stood in front of the sign to prevent passing drivers from being exposed to its message.
Moments later, Ruff approached Haines again, and standing mere inches from the 16-year-olds face, accused him of harassing teenagers.
Though Haines maintained his composure throughout the incident, he said Ruffs aggressive behavior surprised him. When [Ruff] was up in my face my heart started beating crazy fast. But I wasnt really scared because I had my camera running, there were many people watching, and God has always protected me in the past, Haines told The Liberator. I wasnt expecting so much hostility at a local school. I remember praying quickly for wisdom.
When the abolitionists encouraged Ruff to turn to Jesus Christ and be free of his sin, Ruff laughed and announced, listen here son Im as gay as the day is long, and twice as sunny. I dont give a [expletive] what you think Jesus tells me, and what I should and should not be doing.
Ruffs behavior continued to escalate as Haines began speaking to passing students. Shut your mouth and dont talk to my students. You do not have permission to speak and engage, he shouted, hands shaking as he repeatedly thrust his forefinger at Haines. Despite Hainess attempts to point out that he was exercising free speech on public property, Ruff repeated, No you do not. You are harrassing public school students and I will call the police if you dont shut up.
Eventually Ruff became so incensed that he wrenched Hainess sign from his hands, screaming repeatedly, Do not talk to my students!
As Haines preached the Gospel to passersby, Ruff interjected Public school, we dont believe in that here. In the unedited video, Ruff can even be seen loudly singing, shouting unintelligibly and dancing to drown out the abolitionists voices.
Watch the video below see the example Ruff sets for his students as he demonstrates how to engage opposing worldviews, or click here to see the longer, unedited version.
After the release of the video, Ruff was placed on administrative leave while the school conducts an investigation into his behavior, according to a statement posted this morning on the Downingtown STEM Academy Facebook page.
According to the schools statement, We do not condone or support the conduct expressed in the video and are deeply disappointed that this incident occurred. His conduct does not represent the values of the school district or the respect we expect our employees to show for the civil rights of others.

What we see here is tortured guilt. I suspect this principal grew up in a conservative home and was exposed to Christian values and then decided (yes decided) to become “as gay as the day is long” knowing in his heart that this was an abomination. He has since suppressed that guilt and now proudly proclaims his sin even when it has nothing at all to do with the conversation.
Notice he responded to the gospel message, not by simply saying he did not believe in Jesus but by declaring his sin and then using a vile obscenity when referring to “What Jesus said”. Not only did he take the name of the Lord in vain but he attached a word that would get his students expelled for using in showing his utter contempt for what he has clearly chosen to reject.
Another thing I noticed is that he was offended by the children’s showing of the aborted fetuses but denied their humanity. If these were just “cells” that those kids were displaying, then he should not have a visceral reaction to them showing “cells” to the students who were passing by. He knew that those were babies that were slaughtered, but just as he has chosen to reject the truth of the gospel, he has chosen to reject the truth of the humanity of those murdered children.
This video is a study in sin and truth and how the message of the gospel causes anti-christian lefties to go into hysterics. When they are presented with the gospel they do not simply walk on by or walk away, instead their pent up guilt causes them to react violently.
The principal actually committed an assault and battery on the 16 year old boy by pressing himself against him and trying to take away his sign. That was a criminal act. The kids were engaged in a constitutional act of peaceful assembly and free speech and “under color of authority” (public school principal) he assaulted them and battered them and attempted to take away their civil liberties. That is a Federal Crime.
Should he be fired? Yes. Should he be prosecuted for battery. Yes. Will he be? Probably not.
bump for later
No need to see..... We HS families already know the depravity of the goobermint publik screwel system.
Typical radical Sodomite behavior. And yet, most conservatives and Christians happily have their heads buried deep up their collective behinds: “my local (government) school is fine”. No, it isn’t. Willingly sending our children into these foul institutions is tantamount to vote(s) for Bernie Sanders. Will the Republic survive our deluded Christian parents?
Agree with you. But the student should file a federal civil suit against the principal and school district. Part of any settlement should include the principal being fired and banned from campuses in the district. I hope he gets a criminal record, but not holding my breath.

At 6:10, one man confronts the assistant principal.
Thank you for the two pings!
He’s a drama queen having an emotional meltdown in the manner most typical of homosexuals.
What he needs is to be parachuted into ISIS controlled Syria where they know how to handle such vermin.
He loves for people to do things with his ass.
I like your plan.
