Apology for Recent Academy Video
Today (7/22) a video was shared on both TAB Connect and TBA Connect concerning missing the students in the Academy denoting only 34 days until school starts. The idea was a kind gesture, but the medium chosen to express this sentiment was poorly chosen. As soon as I viewed it for the first time, I immediately asked to have it removed from both sights. Regrettably, at least 20 or more people saw it. I, Pastor Baker, take full responsibility for not approving the posting of this video. Another staff member had seen this done at another school and thought it would work. If I would have previewed it, I would have not let it be posted for two reasons. 1) The music, although written in 1975, still emulates the pop sound of both now and back then with actual lyrics to the song making a reference to sexual activity. 2) Mr. Dudley has always been a fun-loving guy, but he now must be the consummate professional our academy deserves. I do not want him portrayed in such a fashion. We apologize for the post and promise to review future media for its content and implications. Thanks for understanding. We welcome any questions or comments you might have.
