The assistant principal of an upstate high school who yelled “F–k the police!” in a live video during the Rochester protests has been placed on leave after an “outpouring” of complaints, district officials said.
Steven Lysenko, a ninth-grade teacher and assistant principal at Spencerport High School in suburban Rochester, sparked outrage with his wild tirade against cops and the “s—ty-assed job they were doing” in a since-deleted Facebook Live video.
“They can f–k right off, America! F–k the police! F–k Rochester Police Department!” he shouted, before ending with a polite “thank you.”
Spencerport Central School District initially said Saturday that the scandal would be “addressed as a confidential, personnel matter.”
The district updated its action Tuesday, however, admitting it followed an “outpouring of emails, posts and comments regarding this matter.”
“Mr. Steven Lysenko is a tenured administrator with due process rights. He has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation,” officials said in a statement.
