Another thread is discussing whether or not John Moronto should be allowed to retain his job as high school football coach after being arrested for soliciting a prostitute. The premise being that he is a role model for the kids he instructs at the high school.
With this in mind, likewise, should Assistant Principal Margaret Spinazzola of Melbourne High School lose her job after being arrested for D.U.I. last Friday morning? Are these two situations deserving of the same punishment? Or, is one less desirable than the other? Are Ms Spinazzola and Mr. Moronto held to a higher standard than, say, a professional athlete who is also a role model to high school kids? There have been NFL players suspended from the League for substance abuse, but only after being cited more than once. Should these two high school officials be given a second chance?
