The person who launched the petition for We need Mrs. Burns said, 'It's ridiculous to have parents who judge her role as principal just by posting an Instagram post saying she likes Iron Maiden. Eden is public. It's a high school, not a Christian high school. '' The principal makes a lot of efforts to tell his students that Eden is a diverse place. '' She spreads more than love and kindness. Not, and probably one of the greatest principals of all time. '

The petition for We need Mrs. Burns had more than 22,000 signatures at the time of writing, and the petition for the dismissal of Principal Burns seems to have been withdrawn.
