Loudon admins handled that sexual assault matter poorly, but the school board did not hold them to account. They essentially bent over to be spanked.

Didn't the school board vote to not notify the parents that it had happened? The board didn't do shit and that was the main reason most were voted out.

I can find nothing with respect to the board taking any vote to not notify parents. Only indication comes from non-media sources, and I find those suspect.

Ok. I was under the impression the board was the ones that tried to keep it under wraps until the dad of the first girl found out. Then when he went to raise hell about it at the board meeting, they had him arrested and moved the rapist to another school where he did the exact same thing at that school.

I can only go by what I found with a quick search. Did not do a deep dive. Loudon did wrong by that parent and his kid. No doubt about that. Does not mean I agree with attacking LGBTQ students due to the behavior of the one, tho.

No, and I don't think so either. I have a problem with schools pushing an agenda that the parents don't agree with. I don't think schools should be teaching any far left or far right stuff. High school? Fine. Whatever. I've always told my kids to form their own opinions. They shouldn't have any belief system just because someone else told them they have to think a certain way. They also know that if someone has to scream, they have no valid points and think they can force you to cave. But there is no reason for any of that garbage to be taught to a 7yo in an elementary school.

I hear this often these days, same as the agenda thing, but no one ever really says what "that garbage" is. Kids are going to be who they are; parents who are NOT the parents of a gay kid should have no say in who that kid should be.

I get what you're saying. I happen to believe I know my kids better than their teacher does. My wife's friend just put her son (4yo) in preschool last month. The preschool teacher asked what his preferred pronouns are. She said, "He's 4. He doesn't know what a pronoun is yet. Last week he was convinced he was Spiderman. This week he's the Hulk."
