Buffalo Residents Concerned Fired Coach Still Working As Guidance Counselor

Some residents in Buffalo are concerned that a football coach who resigned after using sexist and anti-gay language has kept his job as a high school guidance counselor. Pat Lynch resigned Nov. 7 after distributing a mock survey titled "Hurt Feelings Report" to the team before a playoff game against Afton. It provided boxes for players to check next to wording such as "I am a cry baby," ''I am a queer," ''I have woman like hormones." The Casper Star-Tribune reported the school committee apologized for the incident at their meeting on Monday but wouldn't discuss the decision to let Lynch keep his guidance counseling job. One resident said the fact that Lynch remains makes it look like the board condones his survey but board member Rich Hall said the board does not.
