(20,729 posts)politic to the paper, but it was phrased so that it didn't really admit anything. "We could have handled this better." That's pretty contentless. He made the statement at the same time the story came out -- not much time lag for any investigation.
I don't see that there was an investigation. I don't see that any teachers were disciplined. I don't see that the school admits that it happened.
All I see being admitted is that there was some kind of problem, and the school could have handled it better. But the school didn't say that the problem ocurred as described by the reports. And most of the reports weren't from the MSM, but from the FDF and affiliated sources.
In the news reports I've seen, it's "alleged" only.
If you want to show me this apology, I'd like to see it.
And since Glenn Beck claimed that the school sent in the president of the teachers' union and social workers to *intimidate* the family, I think more than an apology would be called for. I certainly would call for more than an apology if my child had been harrassed out of her school and if the school had sent in bigger guns to intimidate *me*.
