Elementary School Principal Fired, Arrested For Planning Real-Life âPurgeâ
Principal Douglas Warner has officially been let go from his position at the Boutland Elementary School located in the small town of Winterflock, Pennsylvania. WarnerÂ was removed from his position after it was discovered he had been planning a school âpurgeâ modeled after the blockbuster hit movieÂ The Purge,Â in which one day a year American citizens are able to kill each other without worrying about legal recourse.It has been reported that Principal Warner has been planning the purge for months, and intended to follow through with the actÂ at the beginning of the new year. Warner said he wanted to wait until 2015 so the parents of any affected children would be able to spend one last Christmas with their kids.Police questioned Warner about his reasoning behind the school purge, and Warner said it was all about âweeding outâ the troublemakers.âItâs obvious I was just fantasizing at an attempt to help society by weeding out some of the crazy, violent, troubled kids, and of course, the school bullies,â said Warner. âI mean come on, I wasnât reallyÂ going to do it, as far as you knowâ¦butÂ you have to understand that there are always those certain kids who are just tiny littleÂ assholes.Â If we just get rid of those kids now, then we wonât have to deal with them when they are in tenthÂ grade, bringing their dads handguns to school underneath their trench coats.âWarnerâs purge was uncovered when a fourthÂ grade teacher found a notebook detailing explicitÂ plans of the even, and turned it over to local police. Police reports showÂ that within the notebook Warner had listed his intention of arming all students with make shift weapons the day of the purge.Though Warner has been let go from his job at Boutland Elementary and was initially arrested, he was eventually released when police said they didnât have enough evidence of crime to convict. It remains unclear if further legal action will be taken against Warner.Â In addition, legal sources have said thatÂ Warner wouldÂ be able to get a principal job at a school within a different district without issue, assuming no charges are filed.Â
