If you are not aware of this phrase, please use Google to seek the meaning,\u201d Head of School Dr. Tim Spurrier wrote in a November 15 email to parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis phrase, which implies foul language, disrespect, and unkindness, is not appropriate for school,\u201d Spurrier continued.<\/p>\n<p>Spurrier went on to declare that the chanting students are \u201cnot living up to the Mason Prep Pledge, which teaches us to treat all people with dignity and kindness and to respect oneself and others through one\u2019s thoughts and actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that parents will join us in using this situation as a teaching opportunity. We ask that you please speak with your children about how we, as both a school and a broader community, can have disagreements without being disrespectful towards one another,\u201d the headmaster wrote to parents.<\/p>\n<p>Spurrier concluded by thanking parents for their support in teaching students to be \u201cpositive members of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then just this week, Spurrier abruptly left his position as headmaster at Mason Prep after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masonprep.org\/news-detail?pk=1209001\">less than two years<\/a> on the job. The board of trustees emailed parents to inform them that Spurrier \u201cwill no longer be serving as Head of School\u201d and that an interim head of school will be appointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate his service and wish him the best in his next venture,\u201d the board wrote in the email to parents.<\/p>\n<p>Spurrier was previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaiinewsnow.com\/2019\/06\/27\/holy-nativity-school-headmaster-fired-after-apparent-power-struggle\/\">fired<\/a> as headmaster of a school in Hawaii in 2019. He accused the school board at Holy Nativity School in Aina Haina of firing him without cause, saying their action was \u201cimproper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One parent said Mason Prep has turned into a \u201cwoke nightmare for parents\u201d since Spurrier took over. That parent ended up pulling their two children out of the private school a few days before school started in August, but not before writing a letter to the school board expressing frustration with the mask mandate and vaccination policies, the school\u2019s new diversity, equity, and inclusion program, and Spurrier himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur children go to school to learn about math, reading, spelling, science, etc. not to be indoctrinated regarding politics,\u201d the parent wrote to school board members. \u201cWe will absolutely not be a part of this kind of learning environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>None of the board members ever responded to the letter, the parent said.<\/p>\n<p>When the parent received the email about students chanting \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon,\u201d they were \u201ctruly shocked\u201d that the headmaster who had \u201ccreated so much division and was disrespectful to parents\u201d had the \u201caudacity to try and suppress students\u2019 speech,\u201d the parent told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut of all the inappropriate things one might overhear at a school with elementary and middle school aged kids, this was the one thing that he felt compelled to email the entire school about?\u201d the parent said. \u201cHe allowed his political leanings to override sound judgement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mason Prep did not return a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
