This asshole needs to be fired and arrested for assault

Chris Sigler is a 17-year old student at Sequoyah High School in Madisonville, Tennessee. Concerned about the bullying of gay students, Chris and some of his friends were interested in starting up a gay-straight student alliance (GSA). The idea did not go over well with the High School Principal, Maurice Moser.

...

In spite of Moser’s position, to his credit, Chris Sigler wasn’t about to give up on starting a GSA. So Chris had the unmitigated gall to wear a T-shirt to school affirming his support for at a Gay Student Alliance group at Sequoyah High School.
...

When Moser got wind of Sigler’s T-shirt, he forgot he was an educator and principal and went into gangster-mode: He found the classroom that Sigler was in, and ordered all the students except Sigler out of the room. Sensing something dangerous was afoot, Sigler’s courageous sister who was also in the room, refused to leave her brother behind.

In the next few minutes according to Chris and his sister, his principal grabbed him by the arm, repeatedly shoved him and pumped him in the chest while shouting: “WHO’S THE BIG MAN NOW?” When Chris’ Mom arrived at the school a short time later, she found Moser “in her son’s face” verbally bullying him.

I reverse my position of guns. Kill this asshole.
His sister's refusal to leave the room may very well have saved him from serious harm.

I'm surprised a grown man picking on a 17 year old kid had the audacity to ask that question.

Must be related to that TN pastor who instigated an attack on his own gay son.

It's Tennessee, the surprising thing is when two people in that state AREN'T related.

At the risk of turning this into yet another gun politics thread... I've always felt that it's unfortunate that more gays don't arm themselves, especially in places where they're more likely to be victims of violent crime simply for being who they are. Part of the reason shit like this still happens is that gays are stereotypically viewed as being weak/vulnerable, a few bashing incidents gone horribly awry for the bigots might go a long way towards changing that.

Sounds like that teacher was really desperate to get his dick sucked.

Anyway, what did the T-Shirt say?

Who knows, maybe he also owns a long-barrel .357 gun, and a muscle car to make up for certain size deficiencies he may have?

That principal should be fired. Then he should be arrested for assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and anything else they can come up with.

I have to agree with that. If they'd both been carrying guns, the matter could have been sorted out in no time.
Will these people NEVER learn?

[tattuchu]

Violence begets violence. Using guns might backfire (no pun intended). Still, that being said, I think I'd enjoy beating the shit out of that asshole.

If the kid had a gun and used it this would be treated by the media as "another Columbine" and he'd (assuming he survived) have been tried as an adult and never seen the outside of a prison again.

Well yeah. It's certainly not something that is applicable in this particular circumstance.

Unarmed combat classes. Just sayin'.
