New York principal fired for criticizing the schools 'MAGA hate culture' of boys grabbing girls

Sandy Creek High School principal Emily Wemmer was fired from her position after making critical comments about the MAGA infused culture at the school.

In a private Facebook message that was hacked and leaked, Wemmer talked about how girls are treated at the school and the "MAGA hat-wearing culture."

Wemmer and her supporters said that she was just trying to encourage the girls at the school.

“This is a VERY traditional, conservative district,” Wemmer wrote. "I have learned myself that men feel totally entitled to manhandle women whenever. Girls are also expected to be passive. If I don’t teach my girls anything else I hope that it is that they can live independently and choose if they want to be in a relationship or not. The mama bear comes out in me when I hear reports of abuse like I heard today.”

She said in another post, “Even some male students will try the intimidation BS. I’ve been asked if I’m a lesbian or married as if those are the only possibilities for a woman.”

She also wrote, "It’s hard when you’re fighting against an entrenched conservative, MAGA hat-wearing culture.”

“I am also responsible for the boys and need to be their advocate. I need to figure out ways to teach them what’s appropriate before it becomes a legal issue,” she said in another post.

Wemmer issued a statement saying that her comments were misinterpreted.

“I allowed my personal political beliefs to overshadow that message, which ultimately is that I care deeply for the welfare and success of Sandy Creek students,” she wrote.

Maureen Shiel, a retired high school principal will serve as interim principal.
