If you haven’t witnessed this at WL, Wakefield, or any other area high school your eyes haven’t been open. And as you can see if you’ve read the linked statement from the principal, it isn’t being tolerated.


That is a change. And it’s only gone on so long because the parents constantly make excuses and lawyer up.

So let me repeat for those in the back: the behavior at Yorktown has been MUCH worse than at W-L and Wakefield for years. You know very well kids at Wakefield, in particular, are held to a different standard.


Lol. No.

You are right! There parents should do the responsible thing like you did and sent your rich, white, entitled country club brats to a private school where things like this happen but at least they have the good sense not to let it get aired to the public.

And to an above poster who said that 'in our day' we drank peach schnapps in the bathroom. I did that, too, but 2021 is a different time. It's one thing to be obnoxious while drunk but harassing a girl and touching her just perpetuates a culture that it's okay to do this.

I hope these kids get routed out and suspended.


For the inappropriate touching, should be reported to the police imo

Doesn't matter whether YHS is a great school or your kids turned out great too. If the reporting is accurate, it could be a crime. ACPD is supposed to investigate potential crimes, not a school system. If the reporting is inaccurate, someone should says so and explain what happened.

If true, this could be prosecuted criminally. ACPD should be involved and investigate. APS doesn't have to carry the water on this.

My child has a friend at YHS who said she didn’t go to the game because she does not think homecoming is “safe” with the level of drinking and bad behavior from kids. I though that seemed over the top. But the post above suggests maybe not.
