Summary
A true story of high school principal Joe Clark, who armed himself with a bullhorn and a Louisville Slugger and slammed the door on losers at Eastside High in Paterson, New Jersey. Brought in as a last hope to save the school, he chained the doors shut to keep trouble-makers out and strivers in, becoming a national symbol for tough-love education
