A Chattanooga, Tennessee, high school athletics director has been placed on administrative leave after a video was posted, and then deleted, of him saying boys should “blame the girls” if they were upset about the dress code, WTVC reported.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press and other outlets obtained copies of the video and re-uploaded them. The video was originally posted on Soddy-Daisy High School’s YouTube page, according to WTVC.
In it, Jared Hensley faces the camera and talks about the school’s policy of not wearing athletic shorts.
“I know, boys, you’re thinking, ‘I don’t understand why, it’s not fair, athletic shorts go past your knees.’ I didn’t make the rules. I kinda did. But that’s the rules,” he says in the video, before saying students would be punished for wearing them.
“If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls. Because they pretty much ruin everything. They ruin the dress code ... They ruin .. well, ask Adam. Look at Eve. That’s really all you really gotta get to, OK. You can really go back to the beginning of time. So, it’ll be like that the rest of your life. Get used to it, keep your mouth shut, suck it up, follow the rules.”

Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Bryan Johnson issued a news release condemning the remarks. (snip) Johnson wrote that Hensley was placed on immediate administrative leave during an investigation.
“We hold our employees and our leaders to a high standard, and these comments do not match the high expectations we have for our employees,” Johnson wrote.
One school board member, Tucker McClendon, said the comments were “stupid” and demanded an apology, while another member, Rhonda Thurman, said the controversy was “ridiculous” and that Hensley was “trying to be funny,” according to the Times Free Press.

Remember, women are equal in every way - but don’t criticize them and of course, be sensitive to their feelings and emotions, which as Dr. Ford points out, are extremely fragile.
Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Bryan Johnson …He was better when he was singing for AC/DC.
What is ruining it is submitting to the BS.
So the male (?) board member was triggered, but the female was like “get a life”. I’m in the “get a life” camp, unless and until all humor is banned from public life if it might offend anyone, in which case they should apply the no-humor ordinance across the board.
guy is trying to be funny, huh? Okay then.
Probably the best piece of education they’ll ever get out of high school these days...
Nice.
I remember feminists saying the same thing about boys and men and we never heard the outcry.
It’s Tennessee. The athletic director spoke carelessly and put his foot directly into his mouth. But remember: he was talking about dress codes, and as far as dress codes are concerned, he is exactly right. The girls dress as provocatively as they can get away with. They know it. They do it deliberately. Some of them would show up in G-strings and pasties if they could. The boys’ dress code offense is generally slovenliness, sometimes extreme. And some of Barack’s kin like to wear their pants down around their knees, but they always have on underwear about as long as an NBA clown pants uniform. None of the boys show up in a codpiece, which would be the functional equivalent of how the girls dress.
I don’t need any more proof.
Guys right. So...
Just kidding!
When the life like custom female robots get here, these types of stories will be a thing of the past.
You can only say unfavorable things about White Christian males. Anything you say about specially-privileged members of government-certified victim groups is automatically condemned.
So I’m going to guess that the girls were told they couldn’t wear shorts because they were wearing daisy dukes to school. They complained that ththe boys were wearing shorts (that went below their knees but whatever) not wanting a lawsuit, boys were banned from wearing shorts too.
That’s my theory on why he’s putting on the girls.
LOL
Modesty is a virtue mostly forgotten it seems. Girls are guilty of immodest behavior of course , blame their parents. Who buys these clothes after all? Let’s not give the guys a free pass though... tattoos, earrings, wife beater t-shirts or better yet, t shirts glorifying drug use, communism, pornography and profanity. Many of both genders are far from God it seems.

Never mind the girls, take a look at their moms! They dress the same way. Everything you just said? Yep their moms be dressing the same way. I see women older than me with tattoos and I’m like “you kidding” but no they out getting more! So it’s not the girls it’s the moms and sometimes grandmoms.
