For a guy who claims he wants to protect Oklahoma students, Ryan Walters sure is doing a bad job protecting Oklahoma students!
Late last week, KFOR reported that the Ringling Public School District is reinstating Phillip Koons as its principal and head football coach on June 1.
In case you forgot, Koons is the hothead football coach who was placed on administrative leave back in February after multiple students claimed he was verbally abusive and, amongst other things, forced some players on the football team to exercise naked. The accusations were serious enough to warrant a still ongoing OSBI investigation.
It also wasn’t the first time Koons has been accused of being an abusive prick who gets off on public nudity and intimidating teenagers. He was canned under similar circumstances at other school districts, including at Clinton High School where he allegedly exposed himself to the football team as a motivational tactic.
Here are some details about his reinstatement via KFOR:
Despite allegations of verbal abuse, an ongoing state investigation and a looming lawsuit on the horizon, Philip Koons is said to be reinstated as the Ringling High School Principal and head football coach as of June 1…
News 4 has confirmed with the OSBI there is an ongoing investigation in Ringling, but they would not release any further information than that.
In this same time, two Ringling faculty members have come forward, claiming the district has retaliated against them for standing with the alleged victims in this case.
Despite the investigation, one of Mercer’s clients received confirmation from a Ringling Public Schools’ teacher that Superintendent Kent Southward announced to staff during a recent luncheon Koons would be reinstated as the High School’s Principal and football coach as of June 1.
