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 is BS wrong fire his butt! I would not want him near my kids nor on my tax paying payroll.
ReplyDeleteTenure in education is a cancer that has infected our so called institutions of higher learning.
ReplyDeleteSimply 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.
Due Process rights ?
ReplyDeletewhat ?
tell that to Judge Kavanaugh or President Trump when you try to lie 24/7 on them
It’s a little bit difficult even for progressive liberals to spin this one away! LOL
ReplyDeleteThey’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.

When you touch the third rail bad things happen.
