Caro Michigan Community Schools: Public school principal under the poisonous paranoid influence of political correctness
Pic of Principal Susan Wright, apparent self-appointed political correctness defender, who by her intolerant and insensitive actions toward a 9 year old child, makes public school taxpayers wonder what type of people are allowed to educate their priceless children. Note: Above pic taken from the Caro, MI Community Schools website.
Earlier this month a 9 year old third grade boy was sent home from school with his politically incorrect “poisonous” cupcakes.
Apparently, the taxpayer funded public school principal couldn’t “handle” the small figurine toys which were placed upon the cupcakes, (intended by the small and innocent child) for decorative purposes. According to the paranoid principal, Susan Wright, the cupcakes [in her limited world-view] were “insensitive.” [Aka - "'politically incorrect"]
The obviously offended school principal defended her insensitive and intolerant decision to remove the toy decorations and send them home with the boy. Her remarks smacked a paranoid type of (needless fearful) insecurity. Had she exhibited some basic teaching and people communication skills, this public school taxpayer funded educator / administrator could have been versatile (enough) to have turned the toy decorations into a teaching moment. She could have (morally and legally) allowed the toy World War II figurines and asked the boy’s teacher to teach the third grade class about American patriots who helped save the world from Hitler’s Nazi Germany and the Nazi’s evil quest for world dominance. But, sadly and pathetically, that did not happen. Teaching children political correctness [by modeling it] is way too much more important that teaching them some good morals and to differentiate between right from wrong, and to appreciate their patriotic forefathers.
The public school principal’s political correctness actions toward the boy and his parents, illustrates the taxpayer funded public teaching profession’s degenerative downward slide towards absurdity and intolerance. Please read the following excerpt with accompanying pics and captions:
>>>>>>>> Excerpt:
Casey Fountain told Fox News that the principal of his son’s elementary school called the cupcakes “insensitive” — in light of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
“It disgusted me,” he said. “It’s vile they lump true American heroes with psychopathic killers.”
Fountain’s wife made a batch of 30 chocolate cupcakes for their son Hunter’s classmates at Schall Elementary School in the town of Caro. The 9-year-old helped decorate the treats with plastic figurines representing World War Two soldiers.
Fountain’s wife made a batch of 30 chocolate cupcakes for their son Hunter’s classmates at Schall Elementary School in the town of Caro. The 9-year-old helped decorate the treats with plastic figurines representing World War Two soldiers.
The following morning Fountain said his wife delivered the cupcakes to the front office. The secretary complimented her on the decorations and then took the cakes to Hunter’s class.
What type of future does Caro’s Elementary Schall School Principal, desire for precious youth? Does she want for them to emulate her fears? Does she desire herself to be a model of the culture’s decadent and paranoid political correctness at the expense of reality?
“About 15 minutes later the school called my wife and told her the couldn’t serve the cupcakes because the soldiers had guns,” Fountain told Fox News. “My wife told them to remove the soldiers and serve the cupcakes anyway — and I believe she may have used more colorful language.”
The school complied and confiscated the soldiers — sending them home with Hunter in a bag.
“I was offended,” Fountain said. “I support our soldiers and what they stand for. These (plastic soldiers) are representations of World War Two soldiers – our greatest generation. If they aren’t allowed in our schools — who is?”
“I was offended,” Fountain said. “I support our soldiers and what they stand for. These (plastic soldiers) are representations of World War Two soldiers – our greatest generation. If they aren’t allowed in our schools — who is?”
Principal Susan Wright released a statement to local media defending the decision.

Henry Knier, Jr. – Caro Community Schools Board Sec. Of 7 Board members, Knier and the Treasurer’s [Bill Thayer's] pic are the only ones to appear on the Caro School’s website page. There are no email addresses nor addresses given. Have these board members abrogated their responsibility toward the community’s children? Will they stand idly by and not sanction insensitive Principal Wright for her intolerant personal actions of political correctness foolishness upon impressionable youth?
“Living in a democratic society entails respect for opposing opinions,” she stated. “In the climate of recent events in schools we walk a delicate balance in teaching non-violence in our buildings and trying to ensure a safe, peaceful atmosphere.”
Fountain said it was beyond outrageous to compare American soldiers to deranged mass murderers.
“In our politically correct society they can’t separate the good from the bad,” he said. ”I’m sure hammers are allowed in schools — although a lot of people are killed by hammers.”
Principal Wright explained in her statement that she meant no disrespect to the military.
“By not permitting toy soldiers on cupcakes at school, no disrespect for our military or for the brave men and women who defend our rights to have our differences was intended,” she wrote. “Our commitment is always to our children and creating a safe place for them to learn, grow and have respectful dialogues about their differences.”
Fountain said his little boy is aware of the controversy but doesn’t quite understand what all the fuss is about.
“He’s nine-years-old,” Fountain said. “He was just glad to get his soldiers back.”
“It’s not about a toy,” he said. “It’s not about a cupcake. It’s what the toy represents — and we’re just taking political correctness too far.” >>>>>>>>>>> - radio.foxnews.com/

Note from this Moralmatters.org author regarding the above article:
For those who would wish, I think that at this time, it would be useless contacting the aforementioned school principal. Susan Wright has made her contention clear. She is entrenched in her politically correct world. This author intends posting at least another article about this school principal’s intolerant and insensitive actions which were not only forced upon a 9 year old boy, but his parents and the whole surrounding community, etc.
For those who desire to voice your sentiments and opinions, please voice (or write them) to the School Board Members. Here, is the school’s less than desirable school board web page.This author will attempt to supply those interested with a way to contact them, individually. They, are the ones to hold the local school system accountable and responsible.
For now, here is the listing of Board members:
John Forshee, President; Dean Tomlinson, Vice-President; Henry Knier, Jr., Secretary; Lisa Graf, Trustee; Bill Thayer, Treasurer; Robert Fetting, Ttustee; Paul Strasz, Trustee
