Teacher Protested Over ‘Flying Nun’ Remark

Hey, kids! There’s a race war going on in East Falls, where the white people are rich and the poor people are poor and even the NAACP is split over it! But whatever, let’s just read why the former principal — looks like this story is over, actually! — upset some black parents:

Robey was one of about a dozen Mifflin teachers and parents who testified about their concerns at a City Council hearing Dec. 27. Another parent, LaShya Taylor, said she heard [principal Allyssa] Schmitt make the comment about Muslim children looking like the “flying nun.”

You know, she should be fired. If she thinks Muslims look like the The Flying Nun she’s clearly unfit to lead a school.
