[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1325070, member: 24816"] Yesterday evening, we met with two of that church's elders. It was supposed to be a follow up from their meetings with the principle and his supervisor. It turned out to be a condescending and offensive berating of my wife, especially from one of them. We have been respectful, yet have tried to make points to unhearing ears throughout this whole mess. I wanted to just walk out several times. It is a good thing that I have been going with her, or there is no telling what would have been said to her yesterday. They were very angry at her for having dared to question the principle who they obviously think walks on water. He has told them that she has been disrespectful and rebellious towards him, when in fact as soon as she finally figures out what he wants her to do, she has promptly complied with everything. She did voice concerns about curriculum a while back, I guess that is why he got mad at her originally, but again she is teaching what he asked her to. I guess that he doesn't want anyone to disagree about anything, which in our minds is a ridiculous mindset. They were constantly piously telling her that he was her superior and she had to be submissive and respectful to him at all times. I had to speak up and tell them that she was to be treated with the same respect too. It was very hard to sit there hearing them defend him and berate her. We have been advised to be as nice as can be and to be above this, to which I think we have been more than gracious under the circumstances. One elder even made an inappropriate racial remark, to which my wife quickly replied " well I am a Mexican, Mexican Indian from Oklahoma. She told him that she had heard those type of comments before, so she didn't excuse it, but didn't make an issue of it. I cannot believe that he would have said that, despicable. It is clear that they are unwilling to hear the truth, she told them she had nothing to gain by coming to them only trying to help bring change to the school.
