Girls "ruin everything"

The athletic director and deputy director of a Tennessee high school was put on leave after his comments on how the girls "ruined everything" became viral.

Jared Hensley made the comment in a video on the ban on sports shorts at Soddy Daisy High School, near Chattanooga.

He explained that the boys may not think that the new dress code was right since men's sports shorts usually touch the knee, but they must follow the rule.

"If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls," Hensley said. "Because they ruined everything, they ruin the dress code, they ruin … well, ask Adam, look at Eve, you can really go back to the beginning of time."

"It will be like that the rest of your life," he added. "Get used to it, keep your mouth shut, suck it, follow the rules."

The original version of the clip is no longer available online, but it was shared on YouTube by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, which unveiled the story.

As a result of the news, some students came to Hensley's defense.

Here is our Vice Director, Jared Hensley, this afternoon, in the chaos of showers and extreme weather conditions, making sure everyone gets home safely. You can not tell me that this man does not take care of students at Soddy Daisy High School. #teamhensley pic.twitter.com/YCMRj4RjUb

I am a senior woman at syddy daisy high school and I went there for 4 years and I just wanted to say that the girls ruined the dress code in all honesty. And Coach Hensley has been a great leader in our school for so many people, including myself. It was a joke

Still, others are not satisfied, especially in the #MeToo movement era, and as the country takes a closer look at how women are treated.

Hope @sdathletics do the right thing and can their sports director. This type of waste does not belong in schools or anywhere else. When you say that "girls ruin everything," you have proven that no student can be trusted.

Soddy Daisy High School is part of the Hamilton County School District. The District Superintendent reacted to the scandal of the video in a statement posted online.

"We find the comments on young women in this video inexcusable because the sentiments expressed do not match the values ​​of Hamilton County schools," said Superintendent Bryan Johnson. "The situation is under investigation and this employee has been put on administrative leave with immediate effect."

The school district confirmed Hensley's role at Soddy Daisy, but declined to comment further when it arrived today. Hensley has not yet responded to a request for comment.
