In my last email (http://edreform.blogspot.com/2010/04/living-hell-in-high-school-that-wont.html), I included a story about a courageous girl at the notorious Paul Robeson High School, who spoke out about the horrors of her school. Well guess what? The thugs – both students and, shockingly, the STAFF – at the school are now threatening her and may force her to transfer to another school:

Hell hath no fury like a school scorned.

A Brooklyn principal told the mother of a teen who exposed the failing high school as a violent, drug- and sex-filled hellhole that she can't guarantee the girl's safety -- even at the hands of teachers, the shocked mom told The Post.

Gutsy sophomore Alisha Strawder was barred from going to her classes at Paul Robeson HS Monday, a day after The Post quoted her blasting the bulk of the school's staffers and security guards as lazy and inept, her mom Kasyra Strawder said.

"You're telling me she can't get into the building because your staff members want to attack her because she told the truth?" a dumbfounded Strawder said she asked school officials.

"You're angry at the person who told the truth?"

Daughter Alisha had bluntly told The Post last week, "I want this school to close so bad." But instead of tightening the reins on the out-of-control school, officials put the 15-year-old in an office when she showed up Monday and called her father to take her home, Kasyra complained.

When the mother finally spoke with interim acting principal Simone Grey, she was allegedly told Alisha could come in only if she were put in isolation with a staffer -- and away from students and adults who may retaliate.

"Everyone has taken this personally. We cannot ensure her safety," Strawder quoted Grey telling her.
