After the principal, go to the pastor, not directly to the press. The
church has it's own ladder of authority, first talk to the priest
giving you problems(in this case, principal), then pastor, then the
vicar of the area of the diocese... You don't want to go to the
press, give a bad name, then get in. It just embarrasses you to not
have gone thru the right paths.
