Numerous sources indicate that Karns High School Principal Clifford Davis decided to censure a students free speech and in addition instruct a faculty member and their student club to destruct personal property of hundreds of student at Karns High School.

Here’s the story.

In this years Karns High School yearbook, every Senior gets to say anything they like and it is approved and printed in the annual. A Senior (according to my sources, a female) wrote something like Mr. Davis I never liked you or something to that effect. It was published in the annual because of course, students do have free speech.

The yearbook are printed and began to be distributed and Mr. Davis catches the message. He gets very upset, has the yearbook staff take up the yearbook and apply a Sharpie marker to the offensive remark. Thus resulting in destruction of personal property. If this happened and I have no reason to believe that it didn’t, it should not have happened.

Now, every kid at Karns High School that purchased a yearbook has a mark in their book. Because the “adult” could not live with a difference of opinion from a student.

This is a photo of Mr. Davis and I a few years ago, when he was Principal at Cedar Bluff Middle and I served as a School Board Member. The photo can be found on my website, located, here.
