Our HS principal wanted to expel our oldest son, who is adopted, bi-racial, bi-polar and ADHD. When the social workers stood their ground, this gentleman, and I will use that term loosely, decided to fabricate his own story late in my son's sophomore year when money allegedly turned up missing in a students locker. This HS principal, masters degree and all, submitted a falsified report to local police, full of a general kangaroo court of gobbly gook that was all sound and fury, signifying nothing. He questioned a bunch of students but didn't bother to question the football coach, who was my son's biggest ally. He did question the track coach, another ally, but twisted his words. God bless my wife, who called bullshit on the report when we were called into the local police office.
My son went on to finish high school without further incident and ended up going to state his senior year for shotput and discus. The principal moved on about two years later and has since bounced to another job, where he supposedly has been promised the superintendent job. We could have bounced him for filing a false report to the police, had we pursued it.
Those of you who are involved in adoption and foster care who are doing it right (i.e. not for the money). God bless every one of you.
