The reasons Ferguson-Florissant Superintendent Art McCoy is being pilloried seem similar to those vaguely enunciated by the Catholic establishment in response to the new pope. Both men are concerned with first causes, with primary missions, and nothing so upsets entrenched power as that, whether it's the Vatican or the Ferguson-Florissant School Board.
If McCoy were a lickspittle paper-pusher, mainly watching his own back and his own career, he wouldn't be suspended. His suspension is a disruption and a disservice to the students and the community, and an astounding instance of unfair treatment of a young man of dedication, thoughtfulness and promise.
