She certainly learned a lot about art activism, more than was intended by the course.
That principal is a bag of dicks.
Only activism approved by the administration is allowed.
d'oh that principal (and his lackeys) bit off a lot more than they could chew, lol, you love to see it
I feel for the teacher if they don't have a continuing contract, yet. You're completely dependent on staying in the good graces of your principal to have a job for the next year, and you will only be recommended for a continuing contract with the support of a principal.
But if the teacher had a continuing contract, then they probably should have told the principal to censor the student's work themselves if they wanted it done. Or that you want the instructions to do so in writing.

I kinda hoped that High Schools had improved in the past 20 years. Guess not.
I lived in Abbotsford for a while. They have a KKK problem and the churches on every corner throw book burnings. Plus, organized crime drug wars! For a time it was the murder capital in Canada. It looks like a small, boring suburban town but it is a horrible place. The Christian right have all the political power and this is the result.

Having gone though SD36, it's not surprising how shit other school districts are too. Administration are hypocritical pieces of shit who are just there to create excuses and hide problems
compromised our commitment
That's called breaking a promise. A commitment is a promise. Not fulfilling it is breaking it. You fucking broke a promise because you were afraid to deal with the truth, you faithless cowards. Then, when found out, you tried to squirm instead of actually living the open dialogue.
Admit your mistake, openly and without weasel words, then work to fix it and live up to the commitment you gave. Set an example not in the negative, but in the positive: We all fuck up some time. What matters is setting it right.
