Christ, that "spleen boy" story is goddamn ridiculous. It's not like she said it in front of the entire student body. She said it in a faculty meeting, and some ubersensitive teacher narc'd on her.
Frankly, I'm sick of our wilting lily society.
Good luck, Spleen Boy. We're all pulling for you!
She either has a bone to pick with the principal or she wants to move up the ladder and fulfill her own personal ambitions. Typical.
What a plan. Soil yourself and sue your employer. Got to put that on my list.
