(20,729 posts)"he understands adult reaction...school is a place where students should be able to explore ideas."
again, it's pol-speak. it's phrased in such a way that it *seems* to be addressing the complaint, but there's nothing tangible admitted.
also, as "Bolgen Vargas says theyre looking into claims a middle school student was harassed by teachers because of her essay on Frederick Douglass." -- why is he "apologizing" before he's looked into it?
and they surely didn't have any time to look into it. The very *first* of the story that i saw was a feb 27 "Breaking" story put out by the Frederick Douglass foundation. so this is three days later.
but if that's good enough for the family after their daughter was harrassed by her own teacher and other teachers at the school to the degree that they lowered her grades from As to Bs and she had to change schools, not to mention being intimidated by social workers and the president of the teachers' union, well, who am i to question it.
