Show of Support for Holy Cross Teacher
Were you there? Do you have information about the circumstances surrounding the protest on Thursday in support of teacher Bernadette Davis?
Patch got word from an anonymous tipster on Thursday afternoon that something had gone awry at in Rumson.
Photos of a protest were sent with word that a popular teacher — Mrs. (Bernadette) Davis — had lost her job and a large contingent of parents and students had stood up, picket signs in hand, against the school's administration over the decision.
The signs in the photos relay messages of support for Davis: "Mrs. Davis, We Love You," "Protesting Ujust Treatment of Our Beloved Mrs. Davis" and more.

The particulars of the incident are not known, other than that, according to the tipster, Davis' contract was not renewed because of an incident with a student over which the administration did not support her decisions.
Calls made to the school were not returned as of late Thursday afternoon. Parents have not offered comment on the situation.
