The next day, he called Tameka to his office, stating that she should not have made public statements without his permission. Principal Buskirk questioned the correctness and thoughtfulness of Tameka's statements, and demanded an apology or her resignation as student council president. Tameka now faces a dilemma, balancing her beliefs and the principal's authority.
