Was Ocean City School Board candidate Robin Shaffer attacked for doing the RIGHT thing 11 years ago?
Two weeks ago we reported that three parents were candidates for election to the Ocean City Board of Education to oppose radical new "Student Learning Standards" that would needlessly sexualize young children.

Fred McDonald posted a comment to that article about an incident in 2011 when Mr. Shaffer was the Assistant Principal of a Maryland Elementary School before he retired. Mr. Shaffer was criticized for "speaking loudly" and "grabbing the wrist" of a "hyperactive" male student who was "disruptive" and "out of control" in the office of the school nurse. No other physical contact was involved. That same student had previously attacked and injured another female school employee, and had run away from the school.
Is it wrong for a male teacher to use firm, but not abusive discipline an out-of-control male student like a father, when there is no father at home to apply any discipline? Isn't there evidence that schools who try to control such young men with gentle counseling and mood altering drugs often makes things worse?
