Remember back in your elementary school days, when you looked up to the principal as a role model whose authority you could trust?
Guess times have changed drastically, at least in some situations.
There was a recent news report about a shocking incident that occurred in a Minnesota elementary school, involving the principal and some alleged boneheaded actions on his part.
Sources say that parents of a 6-year-old student at the school went to the school district to complain that their son's principal supposedly used a severe form of "discipline" to punish him for clogging up the toilet in the boy's bathroom.
The kid told his folks that he was made to clean up the mess by having to stick his bare little hands into the commode. The child had mistakenly used paper towels, instead of toilet paper, which caused the clog and this, allegedly, was why he was reprimanded.
Come on! I know principals have to deal with misbehaving kids, but this boy was only 6-years-old and probably too young to know paper towels can stop up a toilet.
Makes you wonder who in the world is hiring the people who are supposed to be looking out for our kids!
