A Chattanooga, Tennessee, high school athletics director has been placed on administrative leave after a video was posted, and then deleted, of him saying boys should “blame the girls” if they were upset about the dress code, WTVC reported.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press and other outlets obtained copies of the video and re-uploaded them. The video was originally posted on Soddy-Daisy High School’s YouTube page, according to WTVC.
In it, Jared Hensley faces the camera and talks about the school’s policy of not wearing athletic shorts.
“I know, boys, you’re thinking, ‘I don’t understand why, it’s not fair, athletic shorts go past your knees.’ I didn’t make the rules. I kinda did. But that’s the rules,” he says in the video, before saying students would be punished for wearing them.
“If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls. Because they pretty much ruin everything. They ruin the dress code ... They ruin .. well, ask Adam. Look at Eve. That’s really all you really gotta get to, OK. You can really go back to the beginning of time. So, it’ll be like that the rest of your life. Get used to it, keep your mouth shut, suck it up, follow the rules.”

Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Bryan Johnson issued a news release condemning the remarks. (snip) Johnson wrote that Hensley was placed on immediate administrative leave during an investigation.
“We hold our employees and our leaders to a high standard, and these comments do not match the high expectations we have for our employees,” Johnson wrote.
One school board member, Tucker McClendon, said the comments were “stupid” and demanded an apology, while another member, Rhonda Thurman, said the controversy was “ridiculous” and that Hensley was “trying to be funny,” according to the Times Free Press.

My Junior Hi Social Studies teacher, a man I greatly admired, once said, “All man’s troubles consist of three things. Money, women, and both.”
The man is not wrong. Fired for the truth.
Perfect! Says it all.
Exactly.
A good point and an excellent observation.
Boys wanted the girls’ dress code. What happens next is that byproduct.
