[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Side note - the boy was wearing a skirt.  A few students who knew him will tell you he did not identify as gender fluid, it was just something that was done as a distraction.[/quote]

This.
Too many people too focused on trying to identify him as trans or gender fluid, when there is absolutely no evidence that was the case.  It just serves as a political flashpoint to generate headlines and conservative outrage.
I went to high school in the 90s.  A boy in my graduating class used to show up to school in a kilt on occasion.  Not a Scot, not trans or gender fluid…just did it to get a response and attention.
I don’t care what he was wearing.  I care that he raped 2 girls.[/quote]

I wish this was highlighted more.  The only people who mention gender-fluid are national media when talking about LCPS.  The actually people who went to school with the rapist, his teachers, his family - never claimed that.

Its to distract from the fact that this boy belongs in prison.[/quote]

I'm not sure about that. I agree that the boy belongs in prison and that, by all accounts, he was not gender-fluid. I still question whether leadership downplayed or was not transparent about the initial incident because there were reports that the boy may have been trans or gender-fluid and the attack occurred while the system was formulating the bathroom policy.[/quote]

You know how when kids shoot up schools all these people come out and say “we knew something was off” and tons of prior reports are released? That’s like what happened here. When kids are involved, schools are SHOCKINGLY limited in what they can do no matter how troubling the behavior or actions or speech of that child. It’s like until they commit the crime, you can’t do a thing. I’m a teacher and we all know the kids who have giant files in counseling, the school psychologist, admin, and you just report report report knowing full well you can’t stop anything that might be coming, you’re only building the file. And this isn’t like it’s one bad principal. It’s the way the entire school systems and laws to protect minors are set up. Until they actually DO something, schools cannot take any real action against them. Then of course they do it and it’s too late. So no a “simple convo” wouldn’t have changed anything. A violent kid was in a school and no matter how many people knew he was a risk, nothing could be done until he was provably violent. [/quote]
