[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything like this happened in the workplace, there would be a lawsuit.  How can a teacher get away with such inappropriate behavior?  This is sexual harassment...I don't car how you spin it (paternalistic, grooming, whatever).  He put his lips on a student.  He should be fired.  End of story.[/quote]

I’m an employee and am pinning all my hopes on WaPo and other media outlets to uncover the truth. I don’t trust anyone working in leadership roles within MCPS. It’s all CYA and monkeying with data to make it prettier. I do think many genuinely believe in doing what it takes to close the achievement gap and address inequities and segregation, but no one seems to have a well-thought our plan for how to do that without unintended negative consequences. I think the bozos in charge will make everything worse, TBH. And in the meantime, we’ve got real safety issues for kids and serious harassment issues for all—kids and adults alike. Tons of schools these days in the county are hostile workplaces, either because the leaders are abusive or allow abuses to go unchecked. My colleagues in the county are playing a game of musical chairs trying to find a school with a decent culture.[/quote]

AMEN to both PPs. There is plenty wrong at Churchill for the Washington Post to do a story on besides the one already covered because of the N Word Passes.  It doesn't help that we have a first year principal being led by a director with zero high school experience.  Both have made promises that they have failed to keep.  Both have done nothing to improve school climate for employees and students.

The school is an excellent example of what can go wrong when racial, gender, and sexual orientation biases are allowed to flurish. Putting up slogans on school walls saying you respect diversity does nothing when offenders to equality remain unchecked in the school. Adults lead by example  - good or bad. [/quote]
