The principal of one school in Connecticut was caught on the school security camera dragging a child by her leg and dragging another child by her arm as if they were animals
The videos, made public this week, show Tisdale School principal Carmen Perez Dickson dragging two kindergartners through the halls on different occasions, according to Sandra Kase, chief administrative officer for Bridgeport schools. Both were in the spring of 2012.

She was put on 6 months unpaid leave over these horrific incidents, which happened in 2012, but the parents of the children have recently leaked video footage of her actions
Chief administrative officer for the school district, Sandra Kase, reportedly told local television station NBC Connecticut her recommendation was that the school board fire the principal based on her actions.

Former Tisdale Elementary principal Carmen Perez Dickson will return to work in the Bridgeport, Conn., school district after her suspension for dragging children through school halls.

nydailynews.comThe decision caused outrage among Bridgeport parents, who have organised to protest the suspension and demanded the principal be fired
The community stands divided about the "slap-on the wrist" suspension, with parents and school board members calling for the former principal's position to be terminated.

"The Board did not exactly agree with us, so the action that was taken was not what we recommended," school board chief administration officer Sandra Kase said.

School board member Leticia Colon voted unsuccessfully to have Ms Perez-Dickson sacked
‘Children go to school to learn and to be respected and we are an example. And if we start to bully, then we can't expect much from these children. They will learn to bully others,’ she said, according to LiveLeak.
