Blackmoor Vituperative

I think I have found a new high water mark for the “soulless wretch” scale: “Columbus, Ohio public school principal” clearly trumps “Norwood, Ohio mayor and city council“.

A high school principal in Columbus, Ohio, has been fired and three assistant principals suspended without pay because they failed to notify the police last month about accusations that a 16-year-old special-education student had been sexually assaulted in the school auditorium by a group of boys, one of whom videotaped the incident, school officials said yesterday.

The principal and her assistants not only failed to report the incident but also urged the girl’s father to avoid calling the police out of concerns that reporters would become aware of the assault, according to statements given to school investigators.

What the hell is up with Ohio, anyway?
