Tennessee high school AD put on leave after saying girls 'pretty much ruin everything'
Source: USA Today
Jared Hensley, the athletic director and assistant principal at Soddy-Daisy High near Chattanooga, was placed on administrative leave Wednesday afternoon, soon after he said girls "pretty much ruin everything' in a video he had made for the student body.
In a Wednesday morning video address to students called "A Helping of Hensley," he announces a ban on wearing athletic shorts. He acknowledges that boys will be unhappy about it, but he says he had made the rule.
"If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls, because they pretty much ruin everything," he adds.
"Ask Adam, look at Eve - you can really go back to the beginning of time."

(ultimate revenge was when they asked a giffted student to help them with their homework ) there was no recourse . good for the school putting the ad on leave ..( shoulda been fired ) my special ed teacher was also the footbal coah , came in drunk half the time and always talked about girls in the negative sense . sorry for the long rant and vent .

(146,331 posts)It's a lot of crusty, bitter, rejected men around who resent and dislike women. Sadly, many of them are involved with school administration. That man should resign and seek another line of work, where he won't be overseeing the education of young people, half of whom are female.

(5,537 posts)But why would they ban athletic shorts?
"Athletic" shorts. What about other, every day shorts?
I can understand if he had just said "No shorts. Of any kind." But this...?

(2,410 posts)is the story of Eve?
What responsibility
It has in history.
For cruelty.
And man, poor man,
Is he fit to rule,
Pushed to it?
How can he carry it, the governance,
And not suffer for it
Insuffisance?
He must make woman lower than
So he can be higher than.
