Brickbat: The Biggest Bully

In California, Arroyo High School principal Larry Smith singled out one student during an anti-bullying assembly and accused him of bullying another student. Specifically, in front of more than 400 other students, Smith accused the boy of circulating an inappropriate photograph of a female student. The boy immediately denied the charge. Smith later called another assembly and admitted he had been wrong and apologized. School officials refuse to say whether Smith will face any discipline.

They're waiting for the next assembly to make that announcement.
It could have been worse - imagine if the principal had been STEVE SMITH
I first knew there was no God when Principal Ed Rooney didn't win an Oscar.
Or maybe there is a God and he doesn't reward pervs

Once again showing the State is the biggest bully of them all.
Wait, isn't exposing the bully to ridicule and public opprobrium be bullying?
Wait, yes. See Headline.
This can't be true.
A government employee apologized? Publicly? Voluntarily, of his own accord?
I don't believe it.
Smith met with the families of both the accused student and the student in the image. "I told them I would do whatever it would take to make it right," he said.
Yay! Principal Smith is going to post a photo of his genitals on Facebook!
