[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I heard

The principle has been on a mission to make the school more like a Montgomery county school.  She wants to cut out some of the cultural elements some teachers were teaching to make the school more attractive to a certain demographic.

She told the teachers not to do lessons on Kawanza and Marion Berry.  She started doing class observations to make sure the teachers were complying.  One teacher was observed 8 times over the course of 10 days.

The 3 teachers saw the writing on the wall and gave their 2 week notice.  She went into a very popular teachers class and told him he was fired and needed to leave.

This is where it gets bizzare,  the students started banging on the windows and desks in protest shouting that she was trying to whitewash them so she calls the police who escort the teacher out.  I don't understand why she just didn't wait until the end of the day to fire him.

Sorry for the typos on phone
