they keep saying it is the superintendent's fault but he gave the school board his recommendation. they didn't go with it so how could he or the principal be held accountable. people also say coach hill should be in trouble. he isn't over the 9th graders. that is coach sherland and he was suspended. bringing in people who do not know anything about the situation and who don't know people here in wynne is a stupid idea. how is that going to solve anything?

I respect the right of anyone to protest as they see fit, but as a parent of a student at the school involved, I was appalled that the protesters seemed to have done no research on the school, the administrators, the school board or what action was ultimately taken. The misspelled signs made them look ignorant and uninformed. No one condones this and those involved were punished.
