[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 517199, member: 8704"] That is about the best advice I have seen given here yet. Her not letting you play D&D and her not being a good school administrator are two totally different things. I think most of the people posting here (myself included) are going from the point of view that the woman is trying to use her position to force her moral views on the school, this is much more than a D&D problem. Now if the problem is that the woman actually has read reports that D&D is bad (which could of just been her made up excuse or could of been fact) and is trying to protect students that is totally different. If the Woman is just trying to force her views it would probably easier to go after the woman's job than to get her to change her mind, forcing a change by applying pressure would make her a personal enemy. If the woman actually cares about the kids but is just misinformed or old fashioned you might want to try to be reasonable and just sit down with her. There are alot of people who had problems in school or have had people throw D&D in their faces, but I have read alot of opinions here that actually support this woman's view that D&D can be detremental, a closed mind is bad regardless of what side they are on and I have seen this woman villified much beyond what you have stated she has done ( I have a picture of a old teacher at my school that was pressured into early retirement for being a old fashoned closeminded *****, but that has no relation to your problem, just me superimposing my experiences). If she is truely a bad AP and needs to go then it can be done but that is a decision to take away her career. Make sure any move you make is thought out and not based on emotion. You seem to be on top of it all pretty good already but just remember this could end up being your want to game vs her loosing her job regardless of if that's what you want or not if you start to fight her. Sometimes these things spiral out of control (like this thread started to do). Once again good luck. [/QUOTE]
