Just in case you missed it, East Forsyth High School softball coach Mike Muse has been suspended for five days without pay by the WSFCS school board for his profanity-laced tirade against a student in the school cafeteria.
Muse confronted 15-year-old 15-year-old Dillon Tschrnko for allegedly spreading rumors regarding Muse’s text messages with another student. Superintendent Don Martin said— according to the Winston-Salem Journal—- “Muse’s punishment fits precedents set in about 10 other incidents of ‘aggressive behavior toward a student’ that the system has dealt with over the past few years,” adding “Muse’s overall message — that people shouldn’t spread rumors — was a reasonable one. But it was delivered in an unacceptable manner and with ‘over-the-top profanity.'”
Muse’s suspension will be spread over non-instructional days. No surprise, Tschrnko’s parents called Muse’s punishment a “slap on the wrist.”
Ah, the jungle “our children” must battle these days.
