When this story broke, and the flow immediately turned to the clown I wondered why nobody seemed to pay any attention to the guy talking throughout the video. The Laverne to his Shirley, as it were. Turned out nobody said anything because they were trying to figure out how to handle the fact that it was local superintendent, Mark Ficken.
First, a story broke in which Ficken said he feared for his job. Then an update was released saying he had been fired and an investigation had been launched regarding his behavior. Ficken says he was unfairly blamed, and his lawyer says it was merely a matter of words of caution.
Of course, you can watch the video here. As a whole, the incident is disgusting. It's in poor taste, and it was completely unnecessary. It was just plain dumb. But another hidden lesson here is don't just play along, or you may pay the consequences. Ficken didn't do much besides keep it going, so I don't see why he is crying about how unfair his experience has been.
Just another drop in the bucket, but a shame nonetheless.
