Report: Principal Tried ‘Magic' To Cure School
in response to reader comment: Principal's Background

Arlo, this was supposed to be laughable. Tamayo wasn't that fair, you remember how she was to me, and clearly Tamayo banning you. I wouldn't call that fair, banning you based on your ideologies that is. But considering that you are you, this doesn't surprise me the least that you are standing up for her, The school indeed got less graduates after we both left, but using Santeria practices in a public school violated the separation of church and state and won't help Unity's poor graduation record. Better management of Unity's staff and students is in call instead of Santeria practices. I guess that this mishap might be in some way a hopeful remedy to Unity's problems. But then again, rumor has it that Unity will be disbanded in a few years because of the student problems there, so I guess that firing Tamayo will be effete anyways.
