Thousands of parents and students in Denver are calling foul and demanding the reinstatement of a popular middle-school principal who was fired last week after he tried to keep a student charged with attempted murder out of his school and then spoke to a local TV station about his concerns about school safety.
Denver Public Schools fired McAuliffe International School principal Kurt Dennis last week, more than three months after he raised concerns about school safety during an interview with 9News, a local NBC affiliate. During the March interview, Dennis revealed that a young student at his school had recently been charged with attempted murder and various gun crimes, and that his staffers were required to pat the child down every day, which they were not trained to do.
