Interesting article on the hazing incident at St. Patrick's. As I understand it, principal Mary Ellen Ryan fired Coach Cerbone because he "had ultimate responsibility for supervising the students during the time the inappropriate behavior took place." This, after Mr. Cerbone properly reported the incident to Principal Ryan.
Following this logic to its conclusion suggests that Ryan immediately resign, since she has ultimate responsibility for everything that goes on at St. Pat's. If she is unwilling to resign, then her superiors should immediately fire her for the same reason as she used to fire Cerbone. Her actions smack of hypocrisy and sanctimony.
Her subordinates will think twice before reporting anything that might embarrass her.
