It's not important and I'll tell you why.

The teacher who reported the supposedly anti-Semitic comments could not corroborate their statement. There is no audio, video, or photo. The student denied it.

So in the absence of evidence, the Principal made the executive decision to not open an investigation, since it's obvious an investigation will go nowhere fast.

The OP of the deleted thread (perhaps the same OP who started this one) insisted that an investigation should have been launched regardless. They may have an argument. What they're missing is that Principals actually have a lot of leeway at their respective schools. A lot of things are their call. This is both good and bad, as we've seen in the Beidleman case (a black male Principal who sexually harassed and bullied numerous white female teachers, and was then promoted by Central Office). Point being: there are lots of calls made by Principals every single day, that usually nobody takes issue with.

But as soon as Palestinian support groups appear, all of a sudden certain people are very interested in due process.

Please note the Daily Wire report grudgingly reports that there is no evidence.

So it is your position that if a staff member reports something to their principal but doesn’t have a photo or video of it and the student denies it, that the principal should assume the teacher is lying and just tell the teacher oh well? Sounds like that teacher who reported her student’s threats of a weapon up to administrators and they didn’t believe her or investigate thoroughly and the kid shot her. Come on. The principal needs to take a teacher’s report seriously. [/quote]

+1. That’s a dangerous precedent. So same premise… if a student is assaulted by another student but there is no ‘evidence” that means it’s not important? No. No no. This is why MCPS is in the state it is.  Principals are not judges and juries.  [/quote]
