The educational purpose of the school remains despite isolated mistakes by staff.
I can see a time immediately after such an incident for a week or two when such will be a topic of discussion in any school. I don't think we're dealing with that here.
There has been time for T-Shirts to be made with intentionally inflaming messages printed thereon....not just one, but two. There has been time for a suspension.
This sounds like someone holding onto yesterday's news and using it to distract. I think the court will rule in favor of the school and that disruption will be the basis of their ruling.
What do you think the court will rule?
I think the court will rule in favor of the girl.
The shirts do not have an obviously negative image. Instead, they are actually positive. Anyone making the connection to the principal either knows the story, or was told the story, so the disruption remains the fault of others, specifically the principal.
Clearly his actions continue to impact his credibility, which, to me, raises serious questions regarding his fitness.
Rural Georgia courts aren't noted for their willingness to undermine authority, and the principal is correct when he says that there is a lot of precedent for his actions. I say Smith will lose.
