Miami Principal Mocks Parent Asking About Teacher's Alleged Molestation of Student

[TexasTowelie]

When Nancy Tyler found out a teacher at her daughter's charter school had been arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student, she was — understandably — concerned. Though the teacher didn't work at her daughter's campus, Tyler wrote in an email to Miami Arts Charter leaders that the entire school community should have been informed of the arrest.

The response from Alfredo de la Rosa, the school's principal and founder, was less than encouraging: "You just like the drama," he wrote in a lengthy email sent Saturday afternoon. "You will have to satisfy your need for gossip by watching TV."

Then he signed off with a poop emoji.

"I can't believe a principal wrote that," says Tyler, whose email also asked about the rumored departure of one of her daughter's teachers. "And, you know, I was just in shock."

De la Rosa, who opened Miami Arts Charter in 2009 after years as a Miami-Dade County public school teacher, tells New Times the poop emoji was "not intentional" and he didn't know how it made its way into the email. He says the school sent a statement about the arrest of Valeria Costadoni to the Wynwood campus, where she taught language arts, but it wasn't necessary to send one to the Homestead campus.

1. Yeah, I really think there is a group of men and women who don't think pediophilia

Is such a big deal. They think of it as lying or equal to cheating on your spouse. Just look the other way, it's just one of those unimportant minor sins. That's why there is so much of it.

2. That happens all the time

Sometimes you don't hit a key and miss a letter in a word, sometimes you accidentally hit the poop emoji key.
