Here’s the latest from sickos who run Souhegan High:
Many who attended Thursday night's meeting criticized the school administration for not expelling the two students after they were arrested.
Officials said the students were included in the yearbook because they were still receiving educational services from the district in prison.
The school's attorney, Gordon Graham of Salem, said the students are required by law to have due process before being expelled. [emphasis added]
Wendy Hunt of Amherst, who said she is a former prosecutor and lawyer from Florida, disagreed with Graham.
"Statutes can be interpreted differently, that's why there's lawsuits," Hunt said. "I would have said, 'Let's expel them. Let them sue us.'"
All is not lost in New Hampshire, however:
The meeting began with Amherst resident Greg Earley asking Jennings to resign, saying the school's decision to allow the yearbook pictures was an over-the-top example of political correctness.
"This is Amherst, New Hampshire. We're not Amherst, Massachusetts," Earley said. "We don't harbor terrorists... or harbor murderers. We run a different set of rules here."
"You decided to discuss (the yearbook issue) with the parents of the students. We didn't discuss it with the parents of the girl who watched her mother get killed," Peter Rowe of Amherst said. "I cannot vote Mary Jennings out of office, but I can vote this board out of office."
My personal favorite part of this story? The school is going to hand out black sticker to cover the faces of the killers in the yearbooks. But not just ANY stickers. The principal himself will hand out the official Souhegan black stickers personally…because we couldn’t just have parents and students using some random sticker from the local Staples, now could we?



"The truth is something [Warren] probably prefers not to confront. Harvard doesn’t come calling just because you’re a smart lawyer and a terrific teacher — not with Warren’s modest, Oklahoma upbringing and non-Ivy League education. She is not your typical Harvard professor. At a certain point, when the law school was under pressure to promote diversity, she represented a three-fer: a great lawyer with a national profile, a woman, and a minority, at least by virtue of family lore.
