One of our Vice Principals at the middle school I teach at is also a Politician. It makes for a messy combination.

He writes articles for the local newspaper, in the Op-Ed department. He's also written a book. It's titled something like "Good at being bad" or something like that. I know he's hispanic, but not sure if he's from Puerto Rico, or South America or Central America.

His views, and how he treats the kids at our school, have been controversial. He's pro-legalization on marijuana, and is open about that with the kids. I have my own opinions on what is legal and what is not legal, but I don't share them with the kids when it's something as controversial as that.

And while we are supposed to be following the "Code of Conduct" in all of our schools in our district, no matter your ethnic background, this administrator does show favoritism when it comes to kids who are black or hispanic. Heaven forbid you are a white or asian kid getting in trouble when he's your vice principal, because he will not show mercy. He's also openly negative about anyone who is Arabic, and one of the teachers I work with actually was going to be filing a legal complaint against him for harassment (she's Syrian).

I keep hoping he'll just get out of the education field and just focus on his political career.
