Assistant principal who yelled ‘F–k the police!’ at Rochester protests put on leave

The assistant principal of an upstate high school who yelled “F–k the police!” in a live video during the Rochester protests has been placed on leave after an “outpouring” of complaints, district officials said.

Steven Lysenko, a ninth-grade teacher and assistant principal at Spencerport High School in suburban Rochester, sparked outrage with his wild tirade against cops and the “s—ty-assed job they were doing” in a since-deleted Facebook Live video.

“They can f–k right off, America! F–k the police! F–k Rochester Police Department!” he shouted, before ending with a polite “Thank you.”

Spencerport Central School District initially said Saturday that the scandal would be “addressed as a confidential, personnel matter.”

The district updated its action Tuesday, however, admitting it followed an “outpouring of emails, posts and comments regarding this matter.”

“Mr. Steven Lysenko is a tenured administrator with due process rights. He has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation,” officials said in a statement.

Tenure in education is a cancer that has infected our so called institutions of higher learning.
Simply because a person has put is X number of years at a job should not guarantee their continued employment regardless of their actions. Imagine tenure for physicians, lawyers, police or any other job.

It’s a little bit difficult even for progressive liberals to spin this one away! LOL
They’ll give him a promotion to a supervisory position.

Not fired, just put on leave only to come back and do more of the same at some later date.

Since it:s New York, even though Upstate, the only proper response is, "Here's your tenure, ....."

When you touch the third rail bad things happen.

You are so correct 3:27. By the way, what is going on with criminal incident by the teacher who is the wife of the Salisbury mayor?
