Are these statements from the principal at Mitchell?

The principal took responsibility for the action of these children.

I'm working on them, don't worry about what I am doing, worry about what you aren't doing and start to hold them accountable and do something.
You aren't demanding resignation. He just perverted the student body of a school as if he was born in hell to the devil himself and then said sorry as if he was talking to other devils that would let him off.
Was he right about that?
I put my money where my mouth is and my feet in the field. I make a difference, yes, I push them around and hold them accountable.
Look at how you excuse them, and you'll justify it with what?
Not holding them accountable makes a difference in a child's life HOW?
That makes their school atmosphere moral and conducive to learning HOW?
That trains them to be responsible how?

Yes, you can bet that there will be federal oversight coming to MCS. I do plenty and I will continue to do everything I can til this city is rid of scumbags like these. Every single thing I can every single time I can and I have friends that are doing the same.

Where is your soul?
Have you no fear of the Lord?
Grouchy today.
Lasting effects, that's what he accidentally left in these victims/children, when he had the opportunity to leave a very different lasting effect that would have lifted them from iniquity and ignorance.

Bubbah: you are the best!

Whatever others say, you should know that on this issue, you are dead right. This principal needs to be out on his ass. I haven't commented to date on what happened at Mitchell because, quite frankly, I've been too appalled.

But you are right. This principal is a complete douchebag.

The behavior exhibited by these kids is indicative of a moral decay running rampant these days (and don't get me wrong - in my day I made some questionable 'moral' choices - it's not like I have a pulpit, LOL)...the principal didn't make these kids act this way.

But he sure as hell could have stopped it from being played out on his watch.

Whoa!!! Looks like some don't like to hear the way it is. I was shocked to see pieces of that video on the news. I wonder if any of those students were his own kids. Think the people in charge should take a look at who they select as principals. Think maybe a demotion is warranted in this case and placement elsewhere. Kids will try to get away with anything. The person in charge should be able to draw the line and stop that kind of behaviour. The students involved should also be accountable for their actions & shown consequences too. I don't their parents would approve of that kind of display in public. If they do, they should be ashamed too.
Who checked out this principal's background?

Sat am--Read where some students were punished. Nothing about any teachers put in the hot seat...Believe the adults are getting off rather well. The principal seemed to way this to go away.
