Principal fired for jumping on students in cafe

[ccharles000]

A high school principal who admitted jumping atop a pile of students during a cafeteria food fight has been fired. The Upshur County Board of Education voted Tuesday to oust Brenda Wells from Buckhannon-Upshur High School. She'd been suspended since late May.

Wells said earlier this month that she jumped onto what she called "a dog pile" of four or five students while attempting to stop a food fight.

Wells said she jumped on the pile to relieve the tension. She said she was back on her feet before you could count to one.

She said it was all in fun.

1. In today's modern Republican police-state, principals are supposed to taser their students

if they do anything that isn't taking a standardized test so that they can go work at the tire factory.

That's the mistake she made - she thought school was for learning and for fun and being teenagers.

Too bad she didn't take a baseball bat to them - she would have been a hero on O'Reilly and probably gotten a number of honorary degrees from Liberty Bible College and Bob Jones University.

While it sounds like she was using some hilariously poor judgement, she got fired for THAT?
Sheesh.
