Robert Paxton beer photo scandal– Robert Paxton, President of Iowa Central Community College at Fort Dodge for 13 years, has resigned over a scandalous photo showing what looked like him pouring a keg of beer onto the mouth of a woman on a boat. His resignation was unanimously approved by the school’s board of trustees on August 28. The controversial picture published by the Des Moines Register and reposted on various sites was taken during a July 4th party at Lake Okoboji. Apparently, as a head of college, it’s not appropriate for Robert Paxton to take such a boozing photo. Still not too bad a deal, Robert Paxton was awarded a severance package worth at about $400,000!

Marion Public Schools, a Michigan school district, has collapsed under similar circumstances. In Marion, hundreds of thousands of dollars have gone missing, community members threatened, etc. It has become so openly destructive that the high school principal felt free to own and operate an adult video rental business in town. The superintendent and school board continue to ignore this and many other shocking situations.

This is actually pretty funny, I attended Iowa Central Community College (ICCC) and have had more than few converstations with Bob Paxton and he does not at all seem like the type of person that would be involved in something like this. His son who is also in this photo is an idiot though, 19 and two OWI’s already, he was also kicked out of the dorms at Iowa Central after receiving 3 strikes for obsessive partying.
