Extremely creepy. It would have been creepy a generation or two ago, and it's even creepier now.

He's creepy, and I'm tired of him being on the news. Goodbye, creepy principal.

Here's a local link: www.kcrg.com/news/local/Mt-Vernon-School-Board-Deciding-Future-of-Embattled-Principal-124110644.htmlEisenbarth called his actions a celebration, beginning with an announcement to the birthday student on the school intercom and an invitation to visit the principal’s office. There, Eisenbarth gave students pencils and calculators, sang “Happy Birthday” and gave them a birthday “tap.” Eisenbarth used a padded hockey stick to deliver his birthday “taps” or “pats.” It was wrapped in plastic foam, according to Mount Vernon police. |

What's worse, and I know this happened in my agency area, is that some of the parents defended the guy.

Maybe he thinks "school board" means something else...
"No, no Terry, it's "seat on the board", not "board on the seat..."

No matter if he's just got an oddball sense of humor, he had to know how it would be perceived. That's just not very smart.
Now, creepy ... my elementary school principle strapped a kid over the PA system in the school. Remember it very well. It's funny, in the space of about three years, we went from that to no physical punishment.

Guy at Cameron's grade school shows up at a PTA meeting on the night we are going to elect the PTA president for the next year. None of us had ever seen him or the 40 friends he brought with him. He said he wanted to run for the president job. He said he decided that life was too short to not spend as much time as he could around his daughter and thought this was a good way to do that. He said he reached this decision after seeing the movie "American Beauty".
I raised my hand and asked, " so you are running for the head of the PTA after watching a movie where a middle aged man sexually seduces his daughter's underage best friend? What part of that movie inspired you the most?"
His friends still block voted for him
and he won.

Since guns and free speech won't correct that, it kind of makes me wonder how that would've been handled in a command economy. I guess tho it would never have come up in a country which didn't have local/state's rights.

I belong to a (rather contentious) organization where we had to put into the bylaws that you have to be a paid member by March 31 of the voting year in order to vote (in the Fall) for the board/officers, in order to prevent this kind of thing where unknown people show up out of the blue with 40 of their friends and take over. |

My high school band director (early 1970s) had a big wooden paddle hanging on the wall in his office that was painted with the words "Fanny Whacker." I don't know if he ever used it. He was an odd duck, too.
I always thought the birthday spanking tradition was offensive and stupid. Why do something to ruin someone's birthday? (BTW, my mom scheduled our annual pediatrician visits near or on our birthdays, and they always involved shots, and I didn't particularly dig that either.)
