Principal Accused of Harassing Students, Teachers and Staff

WASHINGTON - Six former and current teachers at Kemp Mill Elementary School in Silver Spring have filed a civil suit against the schools' principal and the Montgomery County Board of Education, The Gazette reports.

According to the suit, Principal Floyd Starnes bullied and harassed school staff and teachers for years, and the Board of Education knew about it but did nothing in response.

Starnes is accused of inappropriate touching and verbal abuse, referring to students and staff as "babes" and "dolls," taking young students into closets and mooing like a cow at the staff over the intercom.

It also alleges Starnes told his staff not to report suspected child abuse to Child Protective Services

Yes, a Board of Education that knows about improper conduct and does nothing about it makea a county vulnerable to much litigation.

A liberal in a position of power is a bad idea.

Wow is he related to the principal at Prince Street School, Chris Nunzio? He's been harassing staff for years. Maybe someone will get smart and file a civil suit against him.

What about the former vice principal of JMB, better known as D-Bo? He not only harassed students/staff, but purchased liqour and beer for cheerleaders in exchange for "favors". Epitome of classless degenerate.
