I didn't expect a school principal to commit such violence and post a gun on his wife threatening. This is really shame and away from the educational process. This issue contradicts education and administaration. A man like that must be taken away from our kids and teachers. If he has the courage to carry a gun for his family, he may do the same at school for kids and teachers. I am asking the court to punish any kind of violence that threaten kids and others. No for violence. Pls No for violence. Whoever convicts a crime has to be punished. It doesn't matter if he is principal, or even a minister. We are all under the law and have to follow the rules of this great country. I wouldn't support if any attorney tries to defend any unjust tyrant who convicts violence. No one forgive any criminal. If we forgive people for crimes, we will behaving a lot of crimes every day.

Multiple media outlets reported that Scott's Branch High School principal Bernard McDaniel was arrested Nov. 12 and charged with aggravated criminal domestic violence. He was released the next day.
The 52-year-old McDaniel left the Summerton school Wednesday to attend a national conference and is not expected back until after Thanksgiving. It was unclear if he has an attorney.
Florence Police Maj. Carlos Raines says McDaniel is accused of pulling a gun on his wife at their home in Florence on Nov. 7. The report says he had questioned his wife about text messages. Their 15-year-old son asked his father to put the gun down.
Clarendon School District 1 Superintendent Rose Wilder would not comment.
