Parent Not Happy With Rapper T.I. School Visit. Principal wins best email reply.
Tom Myers was surprised when his daughter came home and told him that rapper T.I. had been the speaker at the assembly on anti bullying, so, he wrote an e-mail to the principal, Dr. Terry Oatts.
“The first e-mail I sent to him was to ask that from now on we have some kind of parental input whether or not a speaker is appropriate. If I don’t want my child to be there, just give me the right to opt them out,” Myers said. ”How about next time, let him mow the grass or pick up the trash around the school grounds? If the kids see that they might understand that what he did was wrong.”
Principal Oatts replied in his e-mail, “I thought about asking a guy who snorted cocaine and got arrested for DUI when he was 30 to come and speak to our kids, but, President George W. Bush was not available.”
and somehow, this makes that all go away for a second.
Awesome.
