The punishment of Bangor Public Schools employees came after video surfaced showing a group of school staffers at a bar naming students and teachers in a game where players say who they would like to have sex with, marry or kill. The video was recorded on Jan. 13 and parents at a school board meeting on Monday pressed administrators about when they became aware of the tape.

The secretary to the superintendent resigned Monday, two teachers were suspended and four other teachers were verbally reprimanded, FOX17 reported. No further action was expected to be taken, Bangor Schools’ attorney Robert Hubert said.

But some parents, such as Ronnie Booker, aren’t as ready to forgive and forget.
“You teach your kids to respect authority,” Booker said, “and then how do you respect authority figures when they behave like that?”
