Principal skirt fiasko - Darrin Fleenor

A high school principal in Ontario, Canada has apologized for making a comment to female students saying their outfits put “every male in this building in an awkward situation.” St. Theresa’s Catholic High School principal Bern Tate and vice principal Megan Clarke came under fire for their comments when they entered a 12th-grade classroom and asked all the female students to stand up for a skirt-length check. One of the student’s recorded the incident. In the recording, Tate allegedly can be heard commenting on a student’s skirt.“It’s like the #MeToo movement. You’re putting every male in this building in an awkward  situation," the recording reportedly said. Student Hannah Arbor told the news station she was “caught off guard by the comments.” “And then [Tate] was like, ‘We get it, legs are pretty,’” another student said, Yahoo Lifestyle reports, “We were like, uh, that’s uncomfortable. We’re underage females in a Catholic school — why is that comment being made by someone of authority?”

Like I've said and will say again. Ask men in any school we must watch what  we say/ do. These actions have occurred a many of times and as by standers we need to take action. Not saying females can't protect their selves ,because every girl I know at our school is independent and force, but like this girl lots still feel uncomfortable and may not want to speak up and we need to help. And as men these statments should never come out of our mouths. DON'T SAY ANYTHING IN GENERAL!! its not that hard to keep your mouth shut.

  1. I'm glad to see that disgusting comment recieving the backlash it deserves. Up until a little while ago I would have assumed there would be no consequences
