  Springfield Elementary School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voiced by Harry Shearer, Skinner is the prototypical educational bureaucrat, constantly concerned with a low-grade battle against the school's inadequate resources, apathetic, bitter teachers, and largely rowdy and unenthusiastic students--Bart being the standout example.
However, in an episode devoted to filling in the character's backstory, it was revealed that Skinner actually is an impostor, having stolen the identity of his platoon sergeant at the end of the war.
He was a surly, snarling one-trick pony; when Principal Skinner had to be temporarily replaced, Leopold stomped in, issued vague threats, and terrified the children, making them think he was the replacement, and then suddenly and politely introduced the actual substitute.

Principal Skinner’s equitable application of the school policy was in perfect harmony with the requirements set forth by this court, because he never selectively enforced the policy against one group or another because of their religious beliefs.

Doe, 530 U.S. Because the conduct occurred in the presence of Principal Skinner and on school grounds, because it followed a school sponsored memorial service in which Petitioner was the keynote speaker, and because SPSD did not disclaim its endorsement of the material, a reasonable observer would infer that SPSD endorsed the conduct.

After that meeting, Warrick, who was the focus of a court-ordered investigation of patronage and micromanagement by board members ("Secret Warrick," June 13, 2002), led a heated discussion about the principal in a closed session in which she called on Superintendent Bernard Taylor to discipline Bullard for insubordination, sources tell the Pitch.
