A Travesty of Justice at Burbank High School
* Somehow, behind the closed doors of the Burbank Board of Education, there seems to have been a deplorable travesty of justice.
The demotion of Principal Keiko Hentell of Burbank High School to classroom English teacher smacks of narrow-minded, unimaginative people who are consumed with fear about innovative school programs when they involve multiethnic groups.
How long will it take for the Burbank School District to realize the mistake made and the loss of a good educator, if it ever can?
Incidentally, Keiko Hentell is a superb English teacher as well as being a creative and caring administrator.
