Houston, Texas, Fox affiliate KRIV-TV recently uncovered evidence of a high school allegedly changing failing grades to passing ones, which could be illegal. An audit later conducted by the Houston Independent School district confirmed that the principal at Westbury High School was personally involved in the grade-changing scandal.    http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/28987692/hisd-auditors-confirm-gr...

Then, when one of the news station’s reporters, Katie McCall, showed up to a public meeting this week, a police officer was waiting. The officer informed the reporter that the school district requested she be kicked out.

McCall held her ground, citing “free press” and arguing she had every right to attend the meeting that was open to the public.

“We have a free press in this country,” the reporter told the cop.

McCall later posted a video of the exchange on Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/katie.mccall.9/videos/10153266192150768/ ;                                                           

McCall was never given a reason why the school district didn’t want her to attend the meeting. However, despite threats that she would be removed, the reporter stayed for the meeting.

Reporter Greg Groogan reported on Tuesday that the case was being handed over to police and “jobs will be lost.” Under Texas law, falsifying grades is strictly prohibited.

It wasn’t clear what consequences Westbury High School principal Jason Catchings will face. There have been calls for Catchings to be fired as principal.
