School official resigns after cursing at teen protesters
Tulsa World ^

Posted on 05/12/2017 7:27:27 AM PDT by LouAvul

An assistant principal at a suburban Philadelphia school has resigned after video circulated online showing him arguing with and cursing at teenage abortion protesters outside the school.

Zach Ruff, dean of student life and academics at Downingtown STEM Academy, had been on unpaid leave after the April confrontation. The school district said Thursday that it would like to put "this terribly unfortunate incident" in the past.

Video showed an escalating argument between Ruff and two protesters who were on a sidewalk near the school. When asked to leave, the protesters said they were on public property. Ruff can be heard using profanity in the video.

The school district says Ruff regrets his behavior and acknowledged that the protesters had the right to be there.

Article leaves out the “official” declared he was 1000% gay or something like that.

“Unfortunately” meaning in this case, someone recorded it so they were forced to act.

This is another example of left wing facists trying destroy our second amendment.

They are the majority in the school and university heirachy, professors and teachers.

Below is another example of liberals in charge of our schools, harming the students under them.

Rebellion grows against Muslim indoctrination in schools

From coast to coast, parents are rebelling against what they describe as Islamic indoctrination of their children in public schools.

In Florida, for example, parents are protesting a newly approved textbook they say whitewashes Islam’s violent history of conquest and subjugation, while in San Diego, an angry father confronted the city’s school board about its partnership with the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations in an “anti-bullying” program.

The Brevard County School Board in Florida has revised a history textbook that had been condemned by some parents for its selective treatment of Islam, but the new edition still has its critics, reported WKMG-TV in Orlando. The board decided Tuesday night by a 5-0 voted to adopt the ninth-grade 2018 World History book published by Pearson Prentice Hall.

The local chapter of the activist group ACT for America pressed for the revision in an effort “to protect against indoctrination,” arguing the section about Islam ignored the religion’s “true history” and painted Muhammad and the treatment of women favorably.

ACT for America’s local leader, Roger Gangitano, told WKMG the new edition is an improvement, but the “problem remains that Islam is being portrayed in a far more favorable light than what would be 100 percent accurate,” with parents calling it partially “incorrect,” “incomplete” and “slanted.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, is also engaged in the Florida dispute. But the FBI cut off relations with the group after it was designated by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-funding plot. Later, an Arab Gulf state designated CAIR as a terrorist organization.

14 years of working at this one school, and he loses the position while arguing with a single teenager. This man can only blame himself. The school, on the otherhand, needs to think about why he was so fully supported and defended.

Some called Asst. Prin. Ruff ‘the backbone of the school’. Really?
a man who said the things he did is the backbone of your school? What does that say about you as people, as human beings? This goes beyond religious beliefs.

Schools are a magnet for individuals with one or more character flaws, especially those who would become Little Dictators.

Ruff was an embarrassment to himself and the school, but worse than that he was a hypocrite and a coward. It was obvious he despised Christianity but he fell back on petty non-rules about use of a public sidewalk.

Excellent news. I hope that he seeks the mental health care that he so desperately needs.

“This is another example of left wing facists trying destroy our second amendment.”

I don’t think any guns were involved here. You probably meant to say First Amendment.

The school district says Ruff regrets his behavior and acknowledged that the protesters had the right to be there.

I bet neither of those statements is true.

Let's try it this way:

The school district says Ruff regrets his behavior that he was caught out and acknowledged is P.O'd that the protesters had the right to be there.

"“Listen here son, alright?” Ruff said with a chuckle. “I’m as gay as the day is long and twice as sunny. I don’t give a f*** what you think Jesus tells me and what I should and should not be doing.”

Thanks, you are right. Our first amendment was violated.

Time for another healthy cup of coffee.

This guy is an unstable mental case and once again, was working for yet another public school district in a position of authority.

This seems to be a clear pattern of who these schools and universities are hiring. Very scary people with big problems.

It’s amazing, these school employees are either hustling and banging the kids or teaching the kids to hate America, the Constitution and the legitimately elected president of the United States.

It’s insidious. The teaching industry seems to be loaded with these types who can no longer control themselves, yet want to control everyone else.

This is extremely odd.
