Principal caught popping rainbow balloons supporting LGBTQ students

[left-of-center2012]

Surveillance video shows Principal Bipul Singh, Georgia’s Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School,
discovering the balloons, grabbing a scissors from a nearby desk, and popping several of them, before walking out of the shot. He then returns and methodically pops the rest.

7. "He's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting."

I'll never forget that woman crying on national TV, after Trump put tariffs on some US agricultural products.

They get pleasure from being mean to people they don't like. They were okay with him mocking a disabled reporter. I knew then that he could do anything. Grab 'em by the whatever, shoot someone on 5th avenue. They didn't care. He told them it was okay to be mean to people they don't like, to take their hate out into the public sphere, & apparently that's what they want. It's gonna be hard to put that genie back in the bottle.

4. Surprisingly, this asshole is wearing a mask

5. At least the school administration compared it to the Nazi flag

Haters gonna hate. This is a public school in liberal Athens, GA. hmm... seems a bit overtly hostile.

I wonder about some of our newer blue states. Clarke County went 70% Biden in 2020.

6. Oh yeah, this is Georgia, etc. Just wait until the next group is picked on by him, and this

bigot then works his charm on them...who knows who'll be the next target? Women? The Handicapped? Those belonging to another religion not to his liking.

On January 21 a young student’s artwork, depicting a rainbow flag and text that reads “Gay is OK” was removed from display and compared to the Nazi flag, the students, families, educators and Athens LGBTQIA community and it’s allies are still searching for answers.

The incident occurred at Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School (OAES), part of the Clarke County School District (CCSD), in Athens, Georgia. Dr. Bipul Singh, principal at Oglethorpe Avenue, and Sandra Scott, assistant principal, allegedly requested the student remove the art. It is believed the decision for removal was a directive from a Clarke County School District employee that Dr. Singh consulted with.

In conversation with the student's teacher, Scott likened the display of the rainbow flag to the Nazi flag. When the teacher involved escalated this concern to Singh, he defended Scott’s statement. According to complaints filed by many outraged Oglethorpe Avenue parents and educators in December 2021, this incident is only the latest report of discrimination by the administrators at the Athens elementary school who say countless HR complaints against OAES administrators have gone without response or resolution.

Because the CCSD board and leadership have failed to to take any action or issue any apologies, our community is now pleading for your support to ask the Board, Superintendent and Administrative team of Clarke County School District to take immediate action and remove Dr. Bipul Singh and Sandra Scott from their positions (among other demands that can be found here).

9. I'd like them to explain the Nazi flag comparison

just so they can dig themselves deeper into a hole of hate and stupidity.

10. Bipul Singh. Does he not understand kkk et al will come for him, too?

[IronLionZion]

14. Some idiots like to rise up by stepping on someone else

[AZLD4Candidate]

11. And people wonder why, as a teacher, I have so little tolerance or patience for adminstrators?

Between the ego, the required boot licking they demand, and things like this. . .school administrators inhibit education.
