BUH BYE, LADY!

Meet Stephanie Soliven, The High School Principal Who Unjustly Suspended A Gay Porn Model

cocoa-high-school-gay-pornIt’s been three short days since we first reported on the homophobic high school principal who suspended a male student for legally appearing in gay porn, and now this awful woman is finally getting her time to shine!

Take a good look at her, folks! This is Cocoa High School Principal Dr. Stephanie Soliven, a woman who obtained a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from University of Central Florida only to lead a pack of high school bullies in an effort to rob a student of the right to graduate because she does not agree with his life choices.

Dr. Soliven cited Sean Cody model “Noel” (who appears in gay porn films legally as an adult and not on school grounds) earlier this month for “causing a campus disturbance” after she discovered his work for the gay porn studio. He had reportedly been “severely bullied” by classmates who first caught wind of the films, and her response to the situation was to suspend Noel for a period long enough to cause him not to graduate this June.

Dr. Soliven has been working with the Brevard County School Public School District since 1994 and was named “Florida’s Outstanding Assistant Principal” in 2008, an award with which she received a $2,500 personal check. She’s been called “an excellent example of the outstanding administrators” by District Superintendent Dr. Richard A. DiPatri, a man who also claimed she “works tirelessly to motivate and insure the success of our students.”

But that was in 2008, and perhaps Soliven did “work tirelessly to motivate and insure the success of students” back then. This is obviously not the case now, as she’s done everything in her limited power to destroy the life of one of her students, who is reportedly making more money than her by appearing in adult films. Jealousy?

According to a number of Facebook support groups set up for Noel, classmates have threatened skipping class and changed their profile pictures across social media to show support. Despite Dr. Soliven’s threat to expel anyone showing support, a movement is already under way at the school.

GayStarNews writes:

A large group of students reportedly skipped 7th period on Friday and gathered to stomp and shout his name in the school’s quad in protest.

A classmate posted a photo of the protest action to social media, writing ‘All these people be protesting and stomping and yelling [Noel’s real name] like there be an earthquake.’

The same day Noel posted to Facebook that he intended to challenge his suspension.

‘Coming back to Cocoa isn’t the best for me but bringing justice to the disciplinary system and discrimination of the administration has not slipped my mind either,’ he wrote.

With the story gaining traction with mainstream media, many have taken to Cocoa High School’s Facebook page to express outrage (want to express outrage over the phone? Call Dr. Soliven directly at 321-632-5300):
