Assistant principal invokes Adam, Eve imagery to promote dress code
SODDY-DAISY, TENN. — An assistant principal at a Tennessee school got into hot water recently when he blamed girls for “pretty much ruining everything.”
Jared Hensley made a video for students explaining a new dress code, saying athletic shorts were no longer allowed: “If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls, because they pretty much ruin everything. They ruin the dress code… Ask Adam, look at Eve… you can really go back to the beginning of time. It’ll be like that for the rest of your life, get used to it.”
One alumni from Soddy Daisy High School called the comments “deplorable” but some students said they supported Hensley and didn’t think the video was “severe enough” for him to be fired, according to WCTV, an affiliate of ABC.
The principal of the school apologized for the inappropriate comments, saying they were not representative of the school, and Hensley was placed on paid leave while the school district investigated.
