CPB harassing school superintendent

Wilmer Chavarria, Superintendent of schools in Winooski, Vermont, detained by CPB after trip to Nicaragua

“I was threatened with being referred to the FBI. The FBI was mentioned multiple times," Chavarria said. "They also threatened to stain my record so I would never get a job again. They also threatened with an extended detention if I didn’t give them the passwords to the student information or to my district files."

Chavarria said when he was released, a plainclothes officer "shook [his] hand and said that he admired [Chavarria's] resilience and the fact that [he] was protecting student information." Chavarria said he felt dehumanized by the comment.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
