especially teens! this view makes me sick, particularly if espoused by people who were advocating Me Too/Believe Women last week. the most abusive boyfriend I ever had was at 14 - he got me suspended from school, physically held me down and spit on me, then dumped me for another girl (who he abused even worse) and then went on to murder a kid in HS. and I was a “good” kid, smart and very independent. could easily have been me raped in that bathroom. |
No, Title IX absolutely does not mean that you can’t take any interim measures to supervise a student accused of assault. They have the right to attend school - just like all kids; even convicted murders - but they can still be subject to discipline. |
Back in the good old days (that is to say, the 80’s), the worst thing that ever happened in our high school restrooms was someone took a crap right in the middle of the floor. I’m pretty sure they formed a committee to investigate and everything. |
I already said of course she can. I can tell you are a little dim, so maybe you should sit the rest of this one out — adults are discussing this. It’s obvious the article and its contents are either above your comprehension or you are agitated that it doesn’t validate your fantasy about what you think happened. |
I don’t follow. So he dresses a little punk now. What do his fashion choices have to do with his role in carrying out state law? |
Because the incompetent sheriff’s office initially said there was no assault and didn’t file any charges. And Mike Chapman wants to be re-elected. What a joke. The right-wing morons running the Loudoun county sheriff’s office are the missed story in all of this. |
This missed story is the fact that all public school students are now entitled to an equal education. It didn't used to be that way when I graduated in 2001 in Loudoun. We had an alternative high school. The problem kids got sent there. They didn't get unenrolled from one high school and sent to another to continue their terror in a new place. They got sent to the Douglas School which had strict rules, strict educators and admins, and several officers on campus to assist. The kids who weren't "bad" but had behavior issues were not mainstreamed like they are today. Small classrooms and self-contained rooms were used. AFAIK, that's no longer the case. Not every kid is entitled to an equal education. You SA another student in the bathroom and you should be expelled from public school. The burden of schooling should fall on the parents. If your kid terrorizes their classroom multiple times a week with their meltdowns, the kid should be expelled. All this equality educational nonsense is stupid. |
Schools do not have the staff to 1:1 monitor every student accused of doing something illegal. I understand you wish it were so, but it is not. He had not, under the law or Title IX, been found guilty of sexual assault at that time. |
We have staff that sit outside of restrooms and have to waste their planning period monitoring students going into the bathroom, checking ehallpass, yelling for them to come out when it’s been a long time, etc. The kids fight us so much because it’ll have been 20 minutes and we’ll knock and say they need to come out but because they’re hiding in there doing whatever they will literally yell back “I’m taking a sh*t!” because they think that’s like a foolproof excuse. It’s miserable. I don’t think most people have a single clue how absolutely chaotic and terrible most school environments are now. |
HAHAHAHAHAHA. No. |
Your reading comprehension is laughably poor. Try again. DP. |
One observation from the special grand jury report. It was the court that ordered the alleged perpetrator moved from SBHS to BRHS *after* the perpetrator had been arrested and charged with the first assault. Presumably, if the court (a real court, not a Title IX kangaroo court, btw) had wanted a different treatment and had wanted this person to not be in school, they would have said so? Also, can we take predictions as to what will happen when this person is released in a couple years?. They're not required to register as a sex offender. When he/she/they reoffend in 2025, we'll discuss the judge's decision then. |
And I believe a court ordered that for this student because *based on the details of the first assault*, he had an relationship with the victim and the encounter had, even by her admission, begun as consensual. Of course you can experience rape if you withdraw consent and the partner doesn’t stop, but UNTIL an investigation had completed, it was murky what had actually happened. Dishonest players love to pretend that when people say this we are excusing him or minimizing the victim’s assault. That’s not the case. But it is true these details DID cloud the picture of the assault to the degree I can see why a court went with this decision. |
Doesn’t mean he has to be allowed in the halls unsupervised. We have students at our school that require a bathroom escort simply because they routinely skip class and roam the halls. No other reason. One of the counselors or grade level admins has to escort them anywhere during class time. |
He's a personal hero. |
