“I mean you have schools that are closing for threats and then you have this nasty stuff going on. It blows my mind.”

School principal addresses viral video

Oak Grove High School’s principal, Stefanie Stroud, sent a voicemail to concerned parents as the video circulated online. She said:

“Disgusted, appalled, upset, embarrassed, and disappointed were all the words I used to describe to my family what I witnessed at the Oak Grove High School pep rally on Friday… As the principal and as a parent, what took place on Friday is unacceptable and does not meet the standards of excellence we have worked to establish at Oak Grove.”
