School principal: Get that ambulance off my damn football field!

AKA: Stupid school administrators, Part XVLXII

High school football player from the visiting team gets a concussion during game. Ambulance tries to drive on the field, only the home school principal refuses to allow the vehicle on the field, citing a school regulation against motorized vehicles on their brand new field.

The paramedics had to strap the kid to the stretcher, then wheel him 75 yards to the ambulance.

And I read this the day after I read this ESPN.com story about a Kansas kid dying after, what they think, was a reaction to a concussion sustained a few weeks earlier, a story that made my room very dusty:

Frankly, this principal deserves to be fired, or at least, sentenced to live with that Michigan idiot who taunted the dying 7-year-old on Facebook. What if the kid broke his neck? Would she have made them push a stretcher across a bumpy field for 75 yards?

Doesn't anyone who runs our schools have any common sense?

 

Dear Liz,

You're fired.

 

Rules!! Rules!! You gotta follow the rules! Dumbass

 

But first,

You're sued.
