Bedford, NY -- a high school principal is resigning after a report uncovered him covering up for students who took lewd photos of special education schoolmates in the bathroom.
The two teens involved were not disciplined by Miller and the other pair of perps were uncovered after investigators reviewed the footage, the report released Tuesday stated.
“The administrative team was more focused on covering themselves through lies, misdirection and avoidance than they were on the well-being of the students they claim to always put first,” Karen Close, the mother of one of the victimized kids, told CBS News.
Close’s daughter, Jennifer, blamed student culture for the act against her special-ed brother, stating his harassers through it was funny to take and share pictures of their vulnerable classmates.
“There is an obvious problem with the students in this school district and as the leaders of this school district you need to find a way to break through to these students in a beneficial way,” said Close.Bedford Superintendent Robert Glass announced that Miller will leave the district by the end of the school year at which time he may find work in media, if history is an example of what may happen.
Miller will remain employed at the district, though not as principal, through June, but plans to resign sooner if he finds other employment, Bedford Superintendent Robert Glass said at a Wednesday school board meeting. Another career possibility Miller might be considering is wearing oversexed women's apparel and doing drag queen story hour at local Bedford libraries.
Another school district employee scum-crafter who knew of the boys' confessions, Director of Pupil Services Edward Escobar, is on leave “for the foreseeable future.”
According to the Kroll report, a student whistleblower alerted school administrators to the invasion of privacy. The two boys admitted they were behind the act 10 days later.
Miller, the school’s assistant principal and Dignity for All Students Act coordinator were also all aware of the confessions but did not discipline the boys or tell police they’d found the culprits, the report said. It seems that dignity only applied to the perpetrators, not the victims in this case.
The Dignity for All Students Act is a state law designed to root out discrimination and harassment in schools. Fat chance of that happening.
Despite being aware of the two students who confessed, Miller initially told police there was “still no evidence” of who was behind the lewd videos and photos.
CNN may be looking to fill Chris Cuomo's gym shoes with a guy like Miller.
