Head Of Private TX School Tweeted Profanity Laden Comment To Avenatti Tonight




Meet @butchgroves, the Head of Upper School at The Oakridge School in Arlington, TX. I have never met him before or communicated with him but here is his message to me earlier tonight. The parents of Oakridge must be so proud to have this man teaching their sons and daughters.

He's 61, and soon to be spending more time with family.

Just like that woman in the Molly Tibbet's case who turned out to be a shill for a politician who owned the farm the killer worked at. Deleted all her socials.

This looks like the first personal comment ever from that account. I need some more evidence - but if there is, I will happily join the Lynch Mob. Until then, I will wait until he wakes up, and let him have his say.

Numbnuts just deleted his account.

Aside from which, why would someone hack this complete nobody's account to attack Michael Avenatti?

And since he NOW clearly are guilty, I will welcome any kind of comments inside reason.

But I would love to be able to see a clear difference between how such attacks are handled. Kavanaugh should be confronted with all the bad topics, he probably will support as a judge. But he is not a rapist, until a real judge have confirmed that. Trump and his cronies should be the ones always judging wildly before anything is proven. Be the difference, thanks!

And "why would someone hack this complete nobody's account?" Well, for the same reason I kind of did something similar to my schools leader, when I was 14 years old - it was funny.

The ironic part is that the vast majority of the parents and trustees of the Oakridge school probably agree with every word that Groves wrote. But, with typical Southern "Christian" hypocrisy, they will howl in objection to one of their own actually saying it publicly for the world to see. The Klan usually doesn't like people peeking under their hoods to see their real identities, either.

And they will decry the witch hunting.

But publicly they will denounce such actions.

Two faced.

the schools I remember from years ago (dinosaurs were wandering about and all.....) didn't really teach life skills, just academics.

In a rural Republican town, in a public school. Yes, they actually taught those subjects to EVERYONE, in a public school setting. And the taxpayers paid for it, and they were happy to do it.

Just a reminder that this private school was started as part of a Methodist Church.

The current headmaster Jon Kellam holds a master's from Texas Christian University.
