the median American makes 30k, and these superintendents are pulling in 300k. Hmmm |
The first one. Where the father of the girl got upset and they called the police on him. I’m unclear as to what happened in the second school. |
I have removed several posts from this thread that have claimed that Attorney General Garland called parents "domestic terrorists". First, those posts are off-topic for this thread. More importantly, Garland did no such thing. As is not uncommon with zombie myths that the right-wing accepts as truth, this myth will probably never die. But, here is Garland's memo:
https://www.justice.gov/ag/page/file/1438986/download As you will see if you bother to read it, it doesn't mention "terrorism" or "terrorists" at all. It explicitly mentions that spirited debate is protected under the Constitution, but stresses that threats of violence and efforts to intimidate are illegal. |
Should the FBI getting involved in school board threats/assaults be a new thread? It’s not really relevant here. |
Yes, it should be a new thread. But, not in the schools forums. |
I have mixed feelings about posting this and if anyone feels this is inappropriate, use the "report" button to tell me I'm being an a-hole, but this is what the Washington Post is reporting regarding the court proceeding today:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/in-case-at-center-of-political-firestorm-judge-finds-teen-committed-sexual-assault-in-virginia-school-bathroom/2021/10/25/42c037da-35cc-11ec-8be3-e14aaacfa8ac_story.html
I think this is worth posting for two reasons: 1) it shows why the authorities found the case "complicated", and 2) this was obviously not a case of a female-appearing student entering the girls' bathroom to conduct an assault. Rather, it was a pre-arranged meeting and gender doesn't really play a role. Also, just to be clear, I strongly agree that a consensual encounter can turn non-consensual and result in sexual assault. In such cases, these charges are appropriate. |
Great. It’s a good thing when we hold people accountable for their crimes.

Ain’t happening. He did his due diligence. Point your fingers at Ziggy and his “supervisors” sitting on the board who have recently begun to submit resignations and erase all digital history on social media… |
Anyone in addition to Barts? |
You honestly can justify anything with hair-splitting. Been noting a pattern for years. |
Seriously. My god. What a ton of victim shaming diarrhea. |
I’ve had sex with my husband for decades. But the night I told him no because I was exhausted due to taking care of my sick mother and he didn’t want to hear no because he was leaving the next day for a couple weeks? He raped me. Doesn’t matter that we were married. Doesn’t matter how many times we’d had sex prior. I said no. He would not take that for an answer. It’s disgusting to think that if my husband works skirts, people would be arguing for pages about it. |
Can a native explain the bolded? Tia! |
