[quote=Anonymous]What is happening at Holton is very similar to what's happening with the United States. The school has adopted a sort of "Trumpism" kind of mentality where the HOS pursues her ideological agenda, lies, treats people terribly and wastes money. If I had to put my finger on a particular gripe, its that there is no oversight at the school, no recourse for her wrongdoings. She has pushed out incredibly competent faculty and leaders who made the school amazing and replaced them with "yes (wo)men" who will not question her. I also had expected the Associate HOS to come in and provide somesort of stability and it's disappointing to see that she also has been unable to adequately push back on Penny's decisions. It's so sad to see such a wonderful school decline so quickly, much of which is mirrored by the current state of affairs in the country.

Like all things, if you are wealthy and white, you can probably turn a blind eye to Holton's happenings because it may not impact your family immediately. I am sad that more Holton parents have chosen silence in the face of all the terrible things that Penny did to Black families during her first year. In some ways, you get what you give, you reap what you sow. Holton is quickly returning to a "finishing school" kind of mentality. I feel the worst for the high school girls who chose the school when it was still an academic powerhouse.

[Cue all the Holton comms consultants who are paid to discredit these kinds of truths. To any prospective parents reading this, I hope you are able to see through the coverups and propaganda and make decisions that work best for your family. Look to what's happening at the White House because it's really similar to the Holton admin.][/quote]
