  • To the principle of this school,

    I've seen a lot of irrational decisions made my the people leading our public schools, but after reading the article about Alexa Gonzalez; I'm more outraged than I've ever been. The thought of taking that poor little girl and handcuffing her in front of her classmates is one of the most cowardly, pathetic acts I have ever seen by a principle. She's a child, and she's going to act like a child. But you decided to completely traumatize her in front of the people that matter most to her at that stage; her peers. If I was her parents, I would take it upon myself to ensure that you get what you deserve, either it be within the judicial system, or it be outside of it.

  • Common Sense 101 should be the immediate CE Program made mandatory for all leadership in this school and district. As Charlie Brown always said,
    " Good Grief ! ".

  • There should be an immediate accounting for this complete outrage and the principal should be fired with prejudice. A resignation allows a weak and insensitive administrator who is not thinking in the best interests of students to go elsewhere and perpetuate other acts of intolerance and ignorance. A dismissal will mark this person for what they are, ineffective and over-reactive and keep them from doing the same damage elsewhere.

  • I just want to voice my outrage on the case of the 12yr old girl who was aressted for writing on her desk. This is a request,I believe the Principle of this school should hand their resignation. What was this Principle thinking?
