[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The family is still stamping its feet and isn't giving up legally: https://wjla.com/news/local/loudoun-county-school-board-lcps-bullying-lacrosse-lily-sigler-mental-health-sports-student-athlete-sports-community-high-school-athletics I will say WJLA's coverage of this has been abysmal. Stick to Loudoun Now or Loudoun Times.[/quote] WJLA has an anti-LCPS agenda that I assume stems from their ownership (Sinclair). Their reporting on this has been incredibly one-sided.[/quote] Amazing the defense of LCPS here. Guess it's ok to sweep all the corruption that has occurred in LCPS the past 4 years. Whether the reporting is biased or not, LCPS continues to show its ignorance.[/quote] Nothing that happened here is "corrupt," the unproven allegations on the courthouse steps by the family's lawyer notwithstanding. And this has exactly nothing to do with recent controversies, several of which (the CRT phantom menace, for example) were grossly exaggerated and egged on by WJLA and attracted outsiders to our community to stir up shit. In this instance, there is a state rule. LCPS abided by the state rule. The family doesn't like it and sued in court. The court ruled against the family. The end. [/quote] Nice, dismissal of all the LCPS as a Star Wars reference. Now we see the real motive here, probably a LCPS employee saving face.[/quote] There's no "face to save" and I'm not an LCPS employee. I'm the parent of a child on a team that has to play Independence (and Lightridge) this season. It's almost like you think there's some universal consensus that LCPS is evil and the girl is some victim here. Nothing could be further from the truth. The parents stood up for her and made a case. Good for them. They lost. Continuing to sling broadsides against the district for complying with state rules as corrupt, random imaginary "people of color" who might get away with something and publicly accusing another child and her mother of bullying is really a bad look. Take the loss, let her play at Kenyon next year. She'll be fine.[/quote] Gotta say you sound more like a parent whose kid’s team is not that strong worrying about having to play a supposed stronger Independence team if this girl was on it. And as a parent saying this girl will be fine, is dismissive of anything experienced which you wouldn’t know if you’re not close to the family. You seem rather knowledgeable and invested for not having a kid at either school not to mention perhaps missing a sensitivity chip. Whether you don’t/do agree with LCPS try to remember she’s a kid hoping to play a sport she loves with friends her senior year—treat her with the same grace you’d hope someone would treat yours. [/quote] You need to make up your mind. You're flailing. Either I'm an LCPS employee "trying to save face" or I'm a parent with a kid whose team is not that strong. Good Lord. I will say: I'm the parent. And the state rules exist for MY benefit and the benefit of Independence HS's other opponents. And, if it's your contention this was really just all about playing with her friends (and she's said she transferred to Indepedence because that's where her friends are), that's acutally not a valid reason to grant a waiver. I'm done. Good luck to this girl next year in college. Her parents really screwed the pooch on this one, though, and they really need to stop carrying on like she's been victimized.[/quote] You do realize multiple people can comment on your posts, right? I simply think you sound like an a-hole questioning if a high school girl has been bullied or victimized or had mental health trouble—that’s just gross. So whether you’re a parent or LCPS employee I feel sorry for the children you’re entrusted to care for based on your inability to show compassion for a teenage girl. And if you’re a parent you better hope karma is not just a guy on the Chiefs. [/quote]
