A Vancouver Island principal is defending a decision to cut a grade 10 student out of the high school yearbook because of what he said about her in his write-up.
Staff at Lake Trail Secondary School used scissors to chop Brandon Armstrong's picture and comments from about 150 copies of the annual, saving only a single intact copy for Brandon himself.
In his entry, Armstrong had criticized principal Lori Carpenter, saying she had spent the school's money on a fence and not on textbooks.
