High School Principal resigns after lewd photo scandal cover-up with special-ed kids

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.

Two of the four students involved confessed to what they had done at Fox Lane High School last March. However, Principal Brett Miller along with several other school administrators kept the confession to themselves in spite of the fact that police were involved, as third-party investigator Kroll discovered.

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.

Some cities caving to POTUS' funding threats

President Trump's call to pull federal funding from cities that shield illegal immigrants from federal authorities is finally making an impact on local government leaders of these "sanctuary" towns counties and cities around the country. The are caving in and agreeing to follow the law of the land.

In Dayton, Ohio, Police Chief Richard Biehl said that federal authorities will no longer be impeded by the city when going after illegal immigrants who are being held by his department for misdemeanors or felony property crimes. Dayton has dropped their illegal policy restricting cooperation with immigration officials and are reluctantly allowing the Trump administration to follow the Constitution.

But Dayton isn't the only city deciding they need the money more than the 'feel good' tingle they get from thinking they're being goody-goodies. Miami-Dade, Saratoga, NY, Finney County, Kansas, and Bedford, PA are following suit, according to The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

"We are reviewing policy changes at a multitude of other jurisdictions as well," explained Marguerite Telford, CIS's communication director. She said that CIS is "being inundated" by officials on its sanctuary map who want to be removed from their list.

The mayor of Miami-Dade County, Carlos Gimenez, has been in office since 2011 and in local politics since 2004.

He is a Cuban-American whose family moved to the U.S. in 1960 during the Castro Revolution. He was naturalized in 1975 and has served as a Republican but obviously has a "soft-spot" for immigrants, even though his coming to the U.S. was done legally.

Miami-Dade County had been considered a sanctuary community but it made headlines when Gimenez changed a policy that refused to hold arrested immigrants of immigration officials unless they committed to reimbursing the county for the cost of detention.

But the county stood to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding  so he ordered jails to comply with federal immigration detention requests. After all, didn't some of the federal money pay for the extra time the criminal immigrants spent in the slammer?

President Trump's executive order gives the DOJ and DHS the power to cut federal funding to communities deemed to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. Mr. Trump also authorized the DHS to publish a weekly list of sanctuary communities.

Ms. Telford said: "Are you really going to pick and choose what laws you're going to enforce? If you want a change [in immigration policy], go to the legislature."

What a novel idea for liberals.

In spite of some communities giving in to the president's executive order are rethinking sanctuary policies, others, especially large major cities, have vowed to defy the law.

And those who defy the law should be prosecuted.

New York City's certifiable "Idiot" Mayor Bill de Blasio said "We're going to defend all of our people regardless of where they come from, regardless of their immigration status" [as long as they vote Democratic]. 

De Blasio was also a staunch defender of the Sandinista National Liberation Front which should give you an idea of just how much of a socialist and idiot he really is. Beside that he is a strong opponent to New York's stop-and-frisk laws which drastically helped to reduce crime in the city.

Chicago's incompetent Mayor Rahm Emanuel also said that he will do whatever he can to protect illegal immigrants from the feds, even those scum who have convicted crimes or are suspects in crime. 

Emanuel is certainly doing nothing to protect the citizens of his city who are being killed at war-zone pace.

And it's all political ploys--they apparently care to provide sanctuary to the illegal immigrants but not for their legal citizens. Where's their sanctuary? Ask Kate Steinle's family.

While it's understandable that illegal immigrants would be fearful of reporting crimes for fear of being deported, that could be solved, perhaps by developing an anonymous reporting system.

But again, it seems that any government official who knowingly refuses to uphold the law under the Constitution should be prosecuted or at least terminated from their position for refusal to do their job.
