Idiot High School Principal makes Stupid Comment, thereby serving as cause celebre for more restrictions of free speech.

The Huffington Post is in a lather about something stupid said by an obviously stupid person. The problem is that this obvious and exceptional stupidity is going to be the poster child for formalizing "badthink" regulations. Here's the story:

More startling news out of Tennessee: a local school principal stands accused of making blatantly homophobic statements toward her students.

As ABC 24 is reporting, students at Haywood High School in Brownsville claim Principal Dorothy Bond made insensitive remarks about both homosexuality and teen pregnancy during a meeting. "At first she was talking about PDA and she turned around and she directly pointed to the gay people and said if you're gay, you're going to hell and if you're pregnant, your life is over," student Amber Whittiemore is quoted as saying.

Haywood High School parent Tony Snipes said Bond's behavior isn't particularly surprising given her history: "A couple of years ago when she was principal over at Sunny Hill one of my children had his hair in braids. At an assembly she told the young men if they're sitting between the legs of a girl getting their hair braided for a few hours, that they must be gay."

It seems like Bond's needs to be shown the door for being stupid. How were her comments supposed to advance any reasonable agenda? Bond's need to vent about things that make her unhappy is clearly not such an agenda.

But what have we learned here? That some high school principals are idiots? We knew that already.

Fire her and keep the over-generalizations about Tennessee, or the rest of the county, in the bad logic section where they belong.
