Fire the toe-popper
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: August 5, 2009
Regarding "Many scratch heads about toe-popping punisher," Aug. 2:
King High School Assistant Principal Olayinka Alege's so-called toe-popping punishment reeks of fetish. He should be fired.
His size alone (approximately 6-foot-5) is intimidating. He is using his authority and size to take advantage of students. If he were a teacher, he would be fired immediately for his poor judgment. Alege is getting special treatment because of his position.
One writer, who identified herself as Melanie, said she had never met anyone who loved kids the way he does. I also have never met anyone who loved kids the way he does. Nor would I want to.
He deserves more than just a slap on the wrist. The school system should take immediate punitive action.
