Barton dismissed Stiles without explanation. But two and a half months later, Williams told School Board members in executive session that Stiles was dismissed because of suspicions that she was a lesbian and having sexual relations with her players, according to several board members present.

That sounds like the biggest crock of farking bullshiat I've ever heard in my life.

Dear Principal,

I'm sorry that you're a farking idiot. I'm sorry that I was put on suspension for daring to voice my opinion in a fair and polite manner. I'm sorry that this whole sorry mess took me away from my studies and my friends. I'm sorry you're a douchebag jerkwad who's insecurities caused a temper tantrum that's embarrassed the school and damaged the crediblity of the education system.

I can haz degree now?

Ridiculous. She's already been out for 5 weeks...so way to go to backwards-ly remedy it now. Let's hope both the volunteer coach and Jayvonna have good lawyers.

Wouldn't it be farking great if she goes on to college and gets a couple of advanced degrees then comes back as the principal's boss?

Remember kids, we no longer live in a time when standing up for what you believe in is acceptable.

Kome: Remember kids, we no longer live in a time when standing up for what you believe in is acceptable.

well...as long as you believe the 'proper' things, you can stand up for whatever you want.

But if you decide that maybe you want to figure things out for yourself....well, expect a bumpy ride.

I would hope this young lady and the dismissed coach both have good attorneys. This school board needs the shiat sued out of them.

says she's sorry for what exactly...? for using a phone?

Weaver95: Dear Principal,

FTFY.

/Sheridan approves

ok, after rtfa, if she was using a phone in school and there's a rule for that, then some minor punishment, maybe a day or two of detention, would have been reasonable.

But 7 weeks farking suspension? NO WAY. Principal way over-reacted to a challenge to her authority from what, at least according to the article, is a good student (at least up until the suspension).
I think what needs to happen is that principal needs to be out a job, post haste. And, that coach who was fired, either a damn good explanation needs to be given, or she needs to be re-hired, again, post-haste.
There is no excuse for what the principal has done here. None.

Refuse to apologize, threaten to prosecute.

Nine and a half weeks would have been much worse.

She'll show them:

Fire the principal.

Not that I judge a book by its cover, but Crystal Barton sounds like the typical education student that gets stoned, squeaks by on C's in college, sleeps her way into a teaching position, and then viciously backstabs opposition to her rise to power as a principal.

/Wishes teachers were held to a higher standard of education.

Weaver95: But if you decide that maybe you want to figure things out for yourself....well, expect a bumpy ride.

Agreed.

tiiger: Fire the principal.

And sue the school board, right after you dismiss them and hold emergency elections to find their replacements. Not only have they wasted time and money, they have abused power to such an extent that it has put the public trust in the school board to effectively manage the school's finances and govern the student body.

Then sue them. People put into power to abuse it this badly deserve what is coming to them.

Principal's main job is to know the state ed code.

FAIL.

Fire him.

(be sure to RFA, the part about why the volunteer girls' coach was banned is interesting).

Sorry?

What SUCKERS!

Buffalo City schools, some of the worst in the country.

The student already had some marks on her record for truancy and for inappropriate dress (she wore a Hoodie to school). However, it looks like the principal has a few skeletons in her closet as well...

Dear Ms. Barton,

I'm sorry you're such a psycho, closeted-lesbian, psycho douchebag who has the IQ of my toaster and the looks of the winner of the ugliest dog competition.

Oops. Fire her.



Should have known better. (Me, I mean).

Clearly throwing more money at administrators will fix our schools, right soccer moms?

Dear Jerkwad

Barton is a typical self-centered, hyper-sensitive, vicious, taxpayer-sucking, liberal Union-loser. And this isn't her first controversy.

It's all Bush's fault.

Schools should be run by volunteer collectives with teensy budgets for incidentals.

If you wish to express your concerns to the Superintendent of the Buffalo Schools (I so want to spell it Baffalo), you can do that here. (popa). The superintendent held a press conference and some state board of educational ethics is looking into the behavior of the lovely Ms Crystal.

Their press conference video link is overloaded at present.

Oh, well, a hoodie......THAT'S DIFFERENT! Maybe she should have been expelled.

And what kind of crack is McKinley High School Principal Crystal Barton doing.

/Freedom of speech applies from birth you stupid biatch.

I have no strong feelings either way, but can somebody tell me what this sentence is supposed to be saying:

Barton gave four of the girls pending suspensions. Jayvonna, though, was suspended for five days and kicked off the basketball team. The week after she returned, a school administrator - Barton refused to talk to Jayvonna - told her she was getting an additional six-week suspension.

CnFlght: Why do hispanics hate african americans everyone so much?

FTFY

Does it seem like you need a degree in douchbaggery to get a job as a principal in this country?

There were 5 girls involved. Four of them got pending suspensions, except Jayvonna, who got suspended for 5 days and kicked off the team.

When she got back to school, she found out they'd extended her suspension for 6 weeks.

That principal is an asshole and I hope she gets fired.

Atypical Person Reading Fark: Oops. Fire her.

*studies picture*

I think you deserve a pass for your original error. Pretty ambiguous stuff, that.

Atypical Person Reading Fark: Oops. Fire her.

Fire it.

real shaman: I would hope this young lady and the dismissed coach both have good attorneys. This school board needs the shiat sued out of them.

The school board apparently had little to do with this. The principal cancelled the girl's appointment with the board, and she doesn't seem to have followed up. The lesson here is never give up. She or her gramma should have stood in front of that board and told them what was going on.

If the board doesn't immediately suspend the principal, and fire her pending investigation, they do need to be voted out pronto.

The supernintendo also needs to be looked at.

This story has amazed me from the beginning due to the sheer length of the suspension. 7 weeks for talking on a cell phone, wearing a hoodie, and leaving early? Over 1.5 months for that?

I think that is by far the hardest thing to justify for the principal.

My high school got around this by suspending me every Monday for five days because I cut classes. Could never understand the logic of suspending me for cutting classes because that meant they were letting me out of class without me cutting classes.

For the record, I am a white male and therefore my opinion trumps that of the racial minorities or persons of inferior gender.

The reason Hispanics dislike African Americans is the same reason white people dislike African Americans, they come from an inferior genetic stock, they are prone to violence and have decreased mental capacity compared to all of the other races. Hispanics believe themselves to be superior to the blacks and want white people to see this, hoping that we will reward them with more tacos and low paying jobs, perhaps a pat on the head.

Actually you're half right. We don't like any people that are violent, government leeches, loud and obnoxious, inferior to society standards, and the list can continue (sounds so contradictory, right?). Every race has their own community of losers. I do not care to score points with the man. I am no taco bender that's for sure. You must be referring to Mexicans. I hate people only when they actually do something to piss me off- but I'm on meds, so everything's cool.

Sorry for the rant..

Why is it that so many school administrators develop superiority complexes and act like they are a god? I've seen this type of stuff happen before and it goes against all logic every time.

...and people wonder why we have school shootings.

/This is where our disgruntled youth come from, folks.

Do you consistently have trouble spelling your name?
Do you often get lost on the way home?
Have you been turned down for the job of WalMart greeter?
Do you find yourself scoring 50 or below on IQ tests?
Do you have nothing but contempt for kids?
Do you believe WWE wrestling and Soap Operas are REAL?
Then we have a career for you in SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION!

The perfect job for absolute idiots!
No thinking is ever required for this job.
Just pepper your speeches with the magic words "Zero Tolerance" "Curriculum" and the most fantastic, magical, wondrous cure-all ever "SUSPENSION" and you'll keep pulling in the bucks.

Oh, please don't show those pictures of Crystal Barton having sex with a student, I've just run out of eye bleach.
