More Jasper County “School” Shadiness …

IT’S ALL ABOUT “THE CHILDREN”

|| By FITSNEWS || Jasper County’s government-run school system is the worst in South Carolina … which is saying something when you consider South Carolina’s government-run system is one of the worst in America.

Of course when you look at the district’s “leadership” – or the way its students are treated – it’s not surprising.  But then again the Jasper County school district doesn’t exist to educate children, it’s a government employment program – nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, speaking of employment in the district we noted Hardeeville Elementary School recently hired one Johnny Williams to be its physical education instructor.

Who is Johnny Williams?

According to a report appearing in The Savannah Morning News last April, he’s a former athletics director at the East Broad Street K8 School in Savannah, Georgia.  One whose tenure did not end well …

From the report:

The problems began when a female volleyball coach complained that Williams kissed a female player on the forehead after a tough loss and allowed another girl to rest her head in his lap before a game. She also said he had allowed girls to use his office to change clothes. Williams was cleared of any wrongdoing and allowed to resume his regular duties. But before his return to the classroom administrators warned him that he would have to set clear boundaries, refrain from any inappropriate contact and make sure that he was never alone with a student. However, one month later he was accused of roughing up a male athlete who was skipping class.

What happened there?

The boy, who had recently been in trouble for skipping class and stealing cafeteria food, snuck into the gym during Williams’ first period class so he could shoot baskets. When Williams told him to return to band class the boy refused. Both accused the other of using profanity during their verbal exchange. Williams then marched the boy across the hall to the band room. But instead of leaving him there, he told the band teacher he would handle the situation and took the boy into his office. The boy said Williams “jacked him up,” shoved his head into the wall and threatened to kick him off the basketball team. The boy said he threw down the jersey and announced that he quit and claims Williams tackled him onto a couch in his office because he refused to sit down.

Williams claims to have tripped over some boxes in his office and fallen on the child.

Hmmmm …

Look, we’re all for giving people second chances, but it sounds like this guy is on his third chance.  Oh, and we’re talking about allegations of inappropriate conduct and violence involving children.
