Um, this guy’s a creepy principal. Likes to take lots of young girls on unchaperoned trips to Disney World and have “swimsuit changing contests.”

“Former teacher Barbarita Clark thought something was odd in her job interview. [Principal] Baker didn’t ask her much about her qualifications, she said. He asked her if she was more of a Tigger-type person or an Eeyore-type person. She was puzzled, but Baker determined that she was a Tigger person and gave her a stuffed Tigger when she left.”

very creepy, indeed.

the quotes in this story are rather odd, too. "I have never found more correct people"? "The days are dark"? Who speaks that way in normal conversation, anyway?
