Tell me how many of his freedoms were violated. Heres the story. ROCHESTER, Mich. (WJBK) - Lieutenant colonel Sherwood Baker was just a father trying to helphis daughter find her way at her new high school. Sherwood who has served in the Army for 24 years was told by Rochester Adams high schoolsecurity that if he wanted to get into the high school with his daughter he was going to have to go home and change his clothes. Bakers wife Rachel Ferhadson says, before he was allowed in, the security guard stopped him and said sorry youre not allowed in the school. Security told him men and women in uniform werent allowed because it may offend another student. He was simply coming to the school to speak with his daughters counselor regarding her class schedule but was turned away at the doors because he was not wearing a tie. Rochester Schools superintendent Robert Shaner who is a veteran himself quickly took care of the situation apologizing to the family for their troubles. Shaner sent a letter to Fox 2 which says, the district has apologized for any perception that individuals in uniform are not welcome in the school. The district does not have a policy excluding individuals in uniform and will be working with administration and the firm that handles our security to make sure district policies are understood and communicated accurately.
