Brickbat: Babes and Blood

In Connecticut, officials placed Granby Memorial Middle School principal Mark Foley on leave after discovering he had a second career as the writer and director of horror movies. Nothing about the films is illegal, and Foley apparently makes them under a pseudonym. But Superintendent Alan Addley said the films, which contain blood and nudity, made him question Foley's judgment.

this much stupid this early in the day,I need coffee
I bet this school never had a zero-tolerance derp story during his tenure.
Technically, it did, as this happened during his tenure.
Don't make me light the Tulpa signal
I must be pedantic, it's in my nature.
It's an under appreciated art, I understand.
isn't that a requirement of a middle school functionary? poor judgement? Cause everyone knows nudity & blood are good for what ails ya.
This is why I don't go to work parties or socialize with coworkers.
THIS ^^
Oh, this they'll (schools in general) fire someone for but a bad teacher they keep?
He should now make the school the main setting with all his bosses as villains.
I think I saw that movie already.
Naughty Teacher 17?
I've never seen a 'Naughty' School board member movie. I'm sure there's a market.
He was outed by a newspaper, the Courant, that researched the corporate records of the production company. Now why would a newspaper bother looking into some random horror movie company? Me thinks someone's daughter or wife may have been on one of these quality cinematic pieces, and they tipped off the Courant.
No they weren't in the movie. More likely, they were some old dried up cunt on the PTA who felt she was disrespected by this guy during a meeting, so she dropped the dime on him.
He didn't respect her authority and now he will pay the price.
Someone's jealous they didn't get picked to be in one of the "crowd" scenes...."Not good enough for your little movie? Well, I'll show YOU!"
You can email the so-called shithead reporters at the top of the article:

Yet more feminism running amok in the rotten rags. Colleges aren't happy enough fucking with free speech so the miserable heaps of idiocy graduating from them are now attacking those around them anyway they can.
This is actually my tiny hometown. I don't really have a problem with this guy being railroaded. I'm sure there is a morality clause in his contract. If you don't want to face scrutiny don't become a highly-paid government employee who works closely with children.
For work under a psuedonym, completely separated from his work for the school? That's a pernicious scope for a simple morality clause.
Really, dude? Not having a high enough libertarian purity score is justification for doxxing? And morality clause? Are you fucking shitting me? Morality clauses are designed for firing someone caught with a horse dick up his ass while he's dressed as Tipper Gore, not because some dude made D-list horror movies in his spare time.
Geez.

Superintendent Alan Addley said the films, which contain blood and nudity, made him question Foley's judgment.
Then Addley went back to reading his Bible.
It all started with the Courant's spineless Clover reporters, bro.
I remember when horror was considered one step away from pornography. It was definitely looked down upon in my scene.
I look at social media now and I see all these women who are into blood and gore. That was never the case in my younger years.
