What is wrong with the world???
Police actually had to be called up to control the crowd of pissed parents and students after it was announced that Cynthia Davis, a popular principal at Paradise Valley High School in AZ, had been fired.
The parents had no idea why the board had voted 5-0 not to renew Davis’ contract, but now it’s become clear that it had something to do with Ms. Davis’ sexual orientation.
Community member Shelly Hickerson, who was on a committee to select a principal when Davis was hired, has come forward with a letter that reveals other board members were hesitant to give her the job in 2008 because they were “concerned about her (Davis├óΓé¼Γäó) lifestyle.├óΓé¼┬¥
Apparently there have been rumors that Davis had a “gay relationship” with a staff member, and Shelly believes that rumor had a lot to do with the board’s decision. Naturally, Davis is srsly broken up over this. She says:
├óΓé¼┼ôI have always separated my private and professional lives. The only thing that led to my belief that this may be a factor is the information revealed by a community member today. I never wanted to believe that this could be the issue but I guess I was wrong. I don├óΓé¼Γäót like this. People should be judged on who they are as a person, not their orientation. This has nothing to do with the job I have done as a principal.├óΓé¼┬¥”
We feel sorry for Davis, but even more for the students at Paradise Valley.
They’re losing a great principal because of ignorance and hate, and they’re being taught that it’s okay.
