Again, why was he spying footage of young women dancing at a private party? Him retiring is pretty fucking convenient for him to avoid a deeper dive into his behavior.
My guess is that the board told the principal to jump or be pushed. He's potentially ruined the future scholastics progress of his school's golden child a model straight-A student who liky had the pick of a number of good universities if scholarship came through.
That's an awful image for the school to live down.
I wondered how he thought the subject of religion was broached by Kaylee and him. It’s tough to insinuate that religion was her idea when you walked into the meeting with a stack of Bible verses copied for her. Don’t pretend she thought y’all should discuss Jesus.
He should be held responsible for the scholarship though. That’s huge and quite cruel of him. (Though she should have applied anyway to see if she could have gotten it without his recommendation or if they would have noticed the situation. I would have continued in the student council role as well. What can he really do?)
At any rate, I agree with her and her mother, too little too late. It is the principal’s job to help the students succeed, not interfere in their success. She was a model student, and he snatched away her accomplishments over his own prudishness. And the higher standards ought to allow for some dancing at a party.
Also, still sue the Jesus out of him personally as well as the district for damages. Severe financial pain is the only way the yokels who enable these stains on public education will learn.
That stinks about the scholarship. I would sue for the scholarship amount (plus legal fees.) And use the story in College entrance essays, particularly as it relates to good student leadership means standing up for religious and expressive freedom.
Words are easy (and his are conspicuously lacking any admission that Kaylee never did anything wrong). If he 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 wanted to make amends, he'd cover the scholarship he stole from her out of his own pocket... but I think we all know that ain't gonna happen without a whole lotta lawyerin'.
Keep an eye out for this christian asshat running for school board or other positions.
If he wanted to impose his religious bullshit on students, he should've worked for a private religious school, as he has no business intruding his oppressive beliefs on public school students.
The part where he LIED about the student bringing up religion is typical of these people when they're caught misbehaving for their gawd.

Principal of the Year in Louisiana? Given the fact that bottom-ranked Louisiana ranks 46th in education, that's akin to being the finest prima ballerina in Idaho.
In a new development that will surprise nobody except those living under rocks, the only liar in the same league as Cheetolini allegedly stole his own donors' credit card information to run up huge charges, which by 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 coincidence happened to end up in his private accounts. Oh, and the charges exceeded the legal limits on campaign contributions, so he stuck his own relatives' names on the transactions and made 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 unwitting accomplices. Because, y'know, there just is no depth this worm won't burrow to.
I'm really starting to wonder what, exactly, is really going on here. On the one hand, it's possible (if seeming unlikely) that this principal is trying to make up for an honest mistake. On the other, we're seeing quite a bit of evidence that suggests he's a liar. On the only tangentially related hand, there's a very good reason I'd be unwilling to return to high school for any amount of money. Yeesh.
I'm inclined to believe Miss Timonet for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that this guy really doesn't seem to be at all sorry for being entirely too invasive into a teenage girl's non-educational activities. It certainly appears that Mr. Saint Pierre came down on her like a metric ton of bricks rather than speaking to her like the near-adult she is. It's clear that Miss Timonet's family is supporting her (and good on them for doing so!) and would likely have wanted to be present for any sort of meeting she had with the principal of a school that involved such severe consequences, so I'm wondering why Mr. Saint Pierre didn't at least call them beforehand. To me, that reeks of someone with a little bit of authority trying to flex their power by crippling their opposition.
At this point, I'd say even if he is retiring, an investigation into Mr. Saint Pierre would be justified. Too many unanswered questions here on how he was using his authority and why.
My guess as to why he chose to step down and not fight a lawsuit (or file one of his own over religious liberty) is because the Timonets are Catholic. I feel like, while the SCOTUS might be willing to find for religious dominance, they’re still a majority Catholic and aren’t ready yet to allow the evangelicals the official crown over the country. He won’t win a fight against a Catholic.

The lawsuit should proceed, and it should definitely specifically name f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶g̶a̶r̶b̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ former principal St Pierre.
St. Pierre should be required to match the scholarship out of his own pocket.

More grist for the Fox News mill. St. Pierre is a victim of goddam woke culture and atheists.

Is her further education at risk because he waited until after October 3rd to say sorry etc.? US is so strange.

I'm hoping this got enough publicity that in 3 years (or 10) when you Google his name this is the first thing prospective employers see.
