SAMANTHA PAWLUCY, the Port Richmond teen embroiled in a high school controversy over her T-shirt choice, will no longer attend Charles Carroll High School, her attorney and her father confirmed Wednesday.
"She's totally uncomfortable. She doesn't want to go back there," said Richard Pawlucy, the student's father. He and his wife, Kristine, also pulled their two other daughters from the school.
Samantha wore a pink Romney/Ryan T-shirt to Carroll High on "Dress Down Day" nearly two weeks ago. Her geometry teacher, Lynette Gaymon, asked her to leave the class and wondered why she was wearing a Republican top at a "Democratic" school, according to the student.
The Pawlucys want to enroll the girls at "anything that's not associated with the School District of Philadelphia," Richard Pawlucy said.
Kristine Pawlucy told Larry Mendte on his WWIQ-FM (106.9) show that she felt "betrayed" by, among others, district superintendent William R. Hite and Mayor Nutter.
Richard Pawlucy said his ideal destination for his kids is a charter school.
That might be a tall order. The new school year is already a month old and most charters accept students through a lottery system.
State Rep. John Taylor, who counts the Pawlucys as constituents, is acting as an intermediary with the district and helping the family land a school. It's "a very difficult process for anyone," he said.
Taylor said he spoke Wednesday afternoon with Hite, who was "perfectly willing to cooperate."
Hite told Taylor the family can get him a list of the public schools they'd consider, the state rep said.
"It sounds great, but we were already burned once by Dr. Hite," Richard Pawlucy said. "I don't think we want that."
A disciplinary hearing is scheduled this week for Gaymon, school district spokesman Fernando Gallard said.
After which she'll be promoted to assistant principal and union shop steward...
Sending a kid into the Philly government schools borders on child abuse.
Of course, the best solution for the Pawlucys would be to get out of that concentrated Democrat parasite nest ("city") altogether.
(( ping )) for your Pennsylvania ping list.
Say no more.............
Home school
Seems like the story missed a step here. I knew that Hite and Mutter had jumped in and promised to play mediator (ha!) but what are the specifics of their betrayal?
Gee...I am surprised....Gaymon is Black Racist. I must say, I am surprised /sarc
The public school system is far more corrupt than the media and the government...
That says it all. Why do all these obama supporters look the same?
Gee...I am surprised....Gaymon is Black Racist. I must say, I am surprised /sarc
Impossible. You have to be white to be racist.
So, when it comes down to it, this teacher has created a situation where a girl could never feel comfortable at her school again. Just wonderful.
If it would have been an Obama for President t-shirt you would nary have heard a chirp and the principal probably would have smiled at her.
Honey...you sent your child to a public school...what did you expect?
Yeah.....DEMOCRATIC....yeah!....right!
How’s that anti-bullying initiative working out...? Oh, you mean it’s really only about forcing the gay agenda onto the kids and not real bullying. Gotcha!
Yeah: It figures.
As punishment they should force her to eat Michelle Obama’s chosen lunch’s at school every day. She might even lose a few pounds.
