[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

That could be possible, but a simple discussion with his family or schoolmates would have resolved that.

There's been mention he was wearing a kilt. Was he, or was he not wearing a kilt ?! That is all the answer we need. Someone grabbed that ball and ran with it, calling him trans/gender fluid. The rest is national news making LCPSs the laughingstock school district of the nation. The board have been acting like buffoons for years now, but that's another issue. They helped create the toxic sour culture that has led to lurid headlines.[/quote]

There was a photo in one of the recent articles. That wasn’t a kilt. Whether or not the kid was gender fluid is not why he attacked. The problem here is covering it up because the board/administration took his gender fluidity into consideration. The girl’s ‘reputation’ (and I question that) and his orientation should not matter - it was a non-consensual, brutal attack. The downplaying of the second girl’s attack occurred as well. The narrative initially was that he ‘grabbed her and she got away’. In fact, he nearly asphyxiated her. [/quote]

The board had nothing to do with it. [/quote]
