65. Sadly, that female principal probably knew her own job/financial security depends on going along to get along

True, we wish she had been brave enough to stand up to the offenders (and their parents, the school board, the community at large) but she, like the victimized girls, lives in a very VERY sick patriarchy. Even if she wanted to do something about the situation, was she really free to do that?

Not letting her off the hook for not doing the right thing, but just pointing out she is a SHE and the culture is stacked against her just like those victimized school girls.
