If I were at this school, and this was me and my friends, there would be a fucking revolt against this lady. We fought way more trivial shit then this.

I am surprised the www.aclu.org has not jumped in to help the parents.

Free Speech.

Wow. Just wow. Being a principal is almost like being a politician. You've got to maintain an even keel between parents, students, teachers and other staff, and the school board. This principal is failing miserably. As a principal, she is a public figure, if not an elected one, and therefore more open to criticism than a member of the general public. Furthermore the petition lists, as far as I can tell, only statements of fact, and not of unproven opinion. The lawsuit, then, seems to me an incredibly heavy handed attempt to both silence the parents, and to make it easier for the school board to refrain from commenting on the case (how very convenient, isn't it, that they can refuse to comment on a case they themselves brought a lawsuit over?).

When's the next school board election there?

[Tricks]

Couldn't tell you, but it wouldn't matter. It's always been this retarded.

I remember we tried to get a math teacher in grade 12 to stop teaching the course or at least to let us change teachers. We had petitions and stats that showed GPA dropped at least 15% the year he started teaching. Unfortunately, nothing happened...except 35 out of 50 students enrolled dropped out of his course. Hopefully this case is different and the principal gets what she deserves

[Tricks]

My parents had a teacher fired for trying to fail my brother and sister.

[BartSimpson]

The father should run for school board the next time around. Then, when he's the boss of this retard he can make her life a miserable, living hell.

[QBall]

It's one thing to start an online petition, it's another thing to start using the same website to start an online slamfest. If the parents do not want to keep it civil then they deserve what they get.

I'd love to see how that petition was worded. Apparently, that was the biggest problem.

It was totally out of line for the school board to advise the father to do that in the first place. Whoever directed the action was being lazy himself. Petition - fine. Online... not such a good idea.

As for the complaints - that principal should be strung up by her toe nails. I'd like to see copies of the district policies on disallowing entrance into the school.
