You will have to fast forward through the first 30 minutes till someone comes to the podium.  The first part is about Damascus, then blah blah blah about some sort of state report card, then an open question session with questions about Damascus.

Warning:  Dr. Smith seems pretty angry at the social media "justice" (even using that term for the official media) than actually placing his anger on where it is deserved, the coaches for failing to supervise students, the principal for interfering with what later became a criminal investigation, and the students who are now reported to have raped at least 10 victims.

If it wasn't for the media and DCUM, would parents even know what the heck was happening in our schools?  The Damascus principal had no problem accusing children of rape but is being tight lipped to parents.[/quote]

Just wow at 1:05. Hazing is bad because (roughly) “you could ruin your own life and hurt someone else.” Not “It’s wrong and a horrible way to treat another human being.”
 
[b]Smith has to go. He’s already missed his chance to call thie alleged  behavior out as wrong in no uncertain terms.[/b]

Many of the Superintendent's responses to Damascus and other sexual abuse cases come across as narcissistic.  He seems to lack the capacity of empathy for victims.  He seems to lack understanding of why parents are concerned.  He had the audacity to chastise the media for actually reporting information to families, especially the information that came from a "leaked police report".  Leaked or not, isn't the police report a credible source.[/quote]
