Furious parents tear into controversial school superintendent for ‘shocking’ act on their kids – as they sue district

Angry parents have filed a lawsuit against a Texas school principal for allegedly changing their children’s grades.

Monica Johnson and Brandolyn Jones have taken matters into their own hands after alleging that Marlin Independent School District principal Dr. Darryl Henson unfairly adjusted their children’s grades.

Johnson, the mother of Me’kia Mouling, who graduated from Marlin High School in 2023 and now attends Texas A&M University, said Henson’s change helped her daughter earn the top ranking.

Meanwhile, Jones, the mother of Praiyer and Addai Jones, said not only had their grades changed, but one of the teachers who had long helped her children had suddenly been replaced by a deceased man.

Jones pulled her youngest out of school because of the alleged dishonest behavior, but Johnson’s son is still at Marlin High School, and she makes sure to keep a close eye on him because of Henson.

“He’s still retaliating because we’re suing him, it’s intimidation. So I’m terrified every day of what he’s going to do,” Johnson said. KKXV.

“I check it weekly so I stay informed. I don’t feel like I should.”

Johnson explained that when her daughter Me’kia attended the controversial high school, Henson changed her grades just before graduation.

“Henson recalculated her numbers and she was ranked third,” her mother said.

The angry mother said the beleaguered principal eventually reversed her daughter’s grades, but that she and another student were both top students at the time.

Jones, whose eldest son, Praiyer, is now a student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, has decided to pull her youngest son, Addai, from the school because of alleged deception by the principal.

She claims that not only did Addai’s science teacher change, but his grades also dropped exponentially.

Brandlyn Jones, the mother of two sons, Praiyer and Addai Jones, said not only had their grades changed, but one of her children’s longtime teachers was suddenly replaced by a deceased man.

“And his grade in physics went from a B to a 20,” she said.

‘Even more shocking was that his real teacher, who he had had all year, had turned into a man who was dead.’

Even though none of her children now attend schools in the district, Jones still wants Henson to pay for his actions.

“I want justice for Addai Jones and Praiyer Jones. I want my son’s grades restored,” Jones said.

Johnson, whose son still attends Marlin High School, said his class of 2024 has dropped dramatically, from 13th to 24th.

“I feel like he’s still taking revenge on me because I’m in the middle of a lawsuit,” she told the newspaper.

“And not only is he taking revenge, but now I feel like it’s bullying because my son still goes to school here.”

Both mothers filed a lawsuit against Henson earlier this year, documenting multiple claims, including First Amendment retaliation.

The angry mothers are demanding more than $1 million in damages.

Monica Johnson said her daughter’s grades were changed by Henson, making her the top student along with another student.

DailyMail.com contacted Dr. Henson for comment.

It’s not the first time the Texas school district has been in trouble, after Henson announced in 2023 that Marlin High School’s graduation ceremony would have to be postponed.

Henson wrote in a letter to parents and families that most seniors were failing due to poor grades and absenteeism.

District officials then postponed the ceremony until June to give students time to catch up and hopefully earn the required diplomas.

“As a school district, we really want to make sure we make the best decision in the best interest of all children,” Henson previously said KCEN News.

The postponement of the grand ceremony comes after the district had already announced a four-day school week, aimed at increasing attendance.

In 2020, Marlin ISD lost its official Texas accreditation after the district received an “F” for accountability in 2019.
