As an LGBTQ person who almost killed herself multiple times over what I later found out was just a complete and utter lack of representation and a feeling of safety in places I spent the most of my time as a child (i.e. school), and per countless peer reviewed research studies from prominent institutions - I will have to not only disagree with you but inform you with sources and facts that you or are dangerously wrong about this. Please lower your voice before you get someone killed.

They hired a PR firm. $15k per month out of Philly. Why? The board is loaded with trumpers and are actively ripping rights from LGBTQ and POC kids. They have an open ACLU complaint. Banning books about the holocaust. Etc. The PA state collection of school boards has publicly and officially condemned the board.

Their solution?

Hire a PR firm at double a teachers salary to make them look good

That PR firm, finally realizing this is a bad professional association, dissolved the partnership

I highly doubt it was “mutual” as described. But PR firms don’t want to blast their previous clients publicly - it’s not a good look for future clients
