[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why girls will continue to be targeted in sports.

Because the adults on the board wanted the program to continue to be successful rather than safe.

Gross.  That board is gross. I am not excusing MCPS at all but these parents needed to step up also.  And they didn't.[/quote]

It's not accurate--or fair-- to say the Whitman crew board did not step up.

They reported Shipley to Safe Sport in 2018 based on a rumor. An investigation didn't result in any misconduct report to the board, according to Bethesda Magazine's article yesterday.

This year, after a survey with negative reviews of Shipley, the board immediately suspended him and launched an independent personnel inquiry.

Then, a week before Shipley was arrested, according to Bethesda Magazine, Safe Sport informed the board of a new investigation into Shipley but barred the Whitman crew board from firing him.
