[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to a student in the Class of 2020.  so just last year or maybe in 2019.  Ask anyone from that class if you don't believe it.  Girls had been complianing of him for years maybe decades.[/quote]

Well, respectfully, I’m asking you because you brought it up, I don’t know anyone from that class, and if you think it’s important enough to raise here (as you seem to and it sounds like it is), I’d expect you’d be able to share some detail.  Are we talking about comments or touching?  Regarding the comments, can you elaborate?  [/quote]

Please elaborate!  This is the first I’m hearing of this and have been at the school many years![/quote]

I heard about this as well.  My daughter had already graduated but her friend's little sister was in that class.  The teacher had said many inapprorpiate things, and propositioned girls and former students once they were out of school.  In addition to the reported incident, the girls circulated talking points complaining about him and shared screenshots of his inappropriate Facebook posts.  I think that is when the school finally listened and let him go.  But then they later denied that was the reason why he was gone.  In fact, the Head of School actually denied it to the girls when they tried to speak their truths.  
Several years ago, there was another incident involving sexual harassment by a male administrator and a lower school teacher.  She had reported it to the admnistration many times, but the Head of School did nothing about it.  Then the teacher posted it on social media.  They let him stay until the end of the year, but allowed him to come back on campus for the next several years because his daughter was still going to school there.
These are widely known to anyone who had an US student in the past 4 years.[/quote]

Not doubting the validity, but I have a rising senior at Holton (who has been a student since lower school) and knew nothing about any of this.  So I'm not sure it is "widely known".[/quote]

My (then) 8th grader heard about the teacher last year.[/quote]
