The mainstream media in Alaska has ignored the meat of the matter at Robert Service High School in Anchorage, where Principal Allen Wardlaw has been put on administrative leave after a swarm of text messages attributed to him were circulated among students and staff throughout the district. News coverage has been sanitized to say exactly what the school district has revealed — which is little, since at this point it’s a personnel matter.
The media is avoiding the actual firestorm in the community that has led to Wardlaw being placed on administrative leave. It’s difficult stuff to write about.
A Facebook page has revealed numerous text messages attributed to Wardlaw that indicate he put the “service” in Service High School. The Anchorage School District administration is now investigating Wardlaw, but the court of public opinion has not been charitable.
Must Read Alaska has sifted through several of the controversial text threads circulating around Anchorage households via text and social media apps such as SnapChat, and found a few that are almost printable, but some readers may not wish to continue, because not every vile comment is fully redacted. The ones below are just a handful of many that are said to be associated with educators in the Anchorage School District. The most shocking ones are not included here.
To be clear, because these text threads are found on social media and are allegedly linked to Wardlaw does not make these communications illegal.

These are people responsible for the education of Anchorage students, and values of parents may be at odds with administrators’ values.
MRAK has clipped off identifying information from these text messages and lightly redacted the most sexist, racist, and degrading insults. All of these and more are easily discovered on Facebook for those wishing to review the rest of the material:
