It was a selection that got him fired,Now Toby Price, who was an assistant principal at Gary Road Elementary School in the Hinds County School District, is left perplexed by the controversy over him reading the book, which has a suggested age range of 6 to 10 years old.tells WLBT Channel 3
. “There are other books that have much more suggestive material that are much more widely accepted.” Price was fired last week. He had been asked to set up a Zoom class for the students and another principal was supposed to read to them. However, the principal did not show for the class, so Price was asked to select a book and read to the students,“My boss had asked me to set up a Zoom with the second-grade classes and the principal at the school they’re going to be at next year and she was going to read to them. And she didn’t show,” Price tells WLBT. “My boss told me ‘Go ahead and read.
However, NBC reports Price was called to his school’s principal’s office moments after he finished reading was told that some parents might complain, with school officials saying the use of words like “butt” and “fart” were inappropriate. He was sent home and put on administrative leave. He later was fired, with a termination letter from district Superintendent Delesicia Martin saying Price showed “a lack of professionalism and impaired judgment,” reports say. Price says he is unaware of any complaints from parents.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
