Tell the Truth, Greg Hamilton

 

Greg Hamilton is the current superintendent of education in Franklin County. More than that, his online bio proudly proclaims he was a coach for over 20 years. From potter to physician, roots run deep. We may assume that Hamilton identifies strongly with coaches and supports them whenever possible.

We're pretty sure Hamilton was taken slightly aback to find out that his Phil Campbell coach Jordan Benford admitted to a felony as well as that pesky little moral crime of adultery earlier this week. Hamilton promptly placed the pariah on leave. He just won't tell the citizens of Franklin County what kind of leave.

That's right - Hamilton says any pay the disgraced lech may be receiving is none of the business of Franklin County citizens. Obviously, in some cases where the crime is denied (think Ashton McCluskey), authorities have to wait for an indictment to cut off the teacher's salary. Apparently in Franklin County, an educator can admit to the crime of seducing a student and still receive pay. After all, if Hamilton has stopped Benford's pay, why not say so?

Is Hamilton alone in this mindset? Tomorrow: Colbert Supt. Chris Hand misbehaves.
