this is from a Washington Post article. 6/14

Jung has apologized and may be asked to attend sensitivity courses, Marsh said. Hamilton County Commissioner Curtis Adams, a vocal critic of Jung, thinks the school should demote her until she learns what should and shouldn't be said to 12-year-olds.
Then again, Adams said, it could have been worse: "I'm just glad she didn't tell the girls they looked like whores."
Its not the ban, its the riddicule that is offensive. As we've explored in other threads, relating to kids is tough. Middle school principal is one of your tougher gigs. But this is not a tactic a strong head educator should be grappling for. So, she bugs me, but I know her bacon is frying.
