On April 30 over 100 of the Sequoyah High School Senior class vandalized, I mean destructed the school in Monroe County read the press report of May 1, 2015 here. Monroe County Sheriff Tommy Jones acted swiftly and terminated the Monroe County School Resource Officer that had some knowledge, involvement and has called into the TBI to continue and take over the investigation. Jones appears to be the bright spot in Monroe County at the moment. In a May 5, 2015 news report, the Monroe County Superintendent of School has placed Gary Cole on indefinite leave without pay, read it here
Now some parents are wanting to have an alternative graduation event, read the May 7, 2015 here. The most ridiculous crap I have ever read, the comments were they have family flying in Hawaii and other places. Well, bless your families reality. You don’t want them to know what thugs they are coming in to see graduate. Here is an idea let’s hold those 100 graduates in a correctional facility (as they may be a flight risk) until the TBI completes their investigation and files appropriate charges on all 100. Then the alternative graduation can be held in the corrections facility. All families should have tax liens on each and every parcel of property that own for 1000 times the property value.
Back on September 11, 2011, I authored this story about a Monroe County School Building. It said that the conditions were beyond your wildest imagination. NO, I stand corrected, the damage done by 100 of Monroe County finest took a nice high school building and destroyed it among your wildest dreams.
To the Monroe County School Board and Superintendent, I apologize, I didn’t fully understand the Monroe County population and that you were likely providing them the very facility they deserve. Thinking back, those parents in 2011 at the middle school complaining about the school conditions four years later are likely the parents of the criminals that did this damage.
On behalf of the citizens of Cocke, Hancock and any other counties that have been the butt of jokes, we thank you Monroe County for your teachers that shop lift, have alcohol related arrests and one home with 36 meth labs at one time. No one will ever joke about moonshiners in Cocke County. Because you Monroe County have earned the very bad reputation you received. The other 94 counties can not surpass your idiocy.
