Irmo Principal Eddie Walker doesn't want to resign after all.
You will remember that Walker is the South Carolina principal who announced rather publicly earlier this year that he would resign before permitting a gay/straight alliance to be formed at Irmo High School.
The controversy his stance created pitted members of the community against one another. Some said that Walker stood up for morality while others said he should be fired.
Now apparently, Walker has changed his mind about resigning:
Irmo High School principal Eddie Walker, who planned to resign at the end of the school year because his values conflicted with a proposed Gay-Straight Alliance at the school, has changed his mind and wants to stay, school officials said.
Lexington-Richland 5 interim superintendent Herbert Berg received a letter from Walker this week "indicating his desire to remain at Irmo High School," district spokesman Buddy Price said Thursday.
