re: #185 Smith25’s Liberal Thighs

Little more context:
Black students mother was actually satisfied with way school handled situation. Now lawyer says there was no response-complete lie-I sat in on the meeting. Uncle had his own agenda. When withdrawal from school occurred, family owed money on tuition. Can’t release transcripts until release. Lawsuit only occurred because they didn’t want to pay the money IMO.

The school had an internal Culture and Climate committee a few years ago that I was a part of. Handled an internal response to many forms of bullying, as effective as we could. Really focused on racial and homophobic harassment. I felt we did as good a job as we could. An administration that authorizes this committee, and gives it power would only be accused of fostering racial harassment by idiots.

Shit still happens, okay. In the meantime, a new School Life and Culture committee has been created to be more active, proactive, and powerful than the former committee. I am also a member of that committee, as well as some members of the School Board of Trustees and others from the community. Among them, an individual that works with issues of diversity at a major corporation in the southeast, a former guidance counselor at a “Majority-minority” High School(My HS Guidance counselor), and the lead DJ at the city’s Hip-Hop radio station. The school is taking this very seriously. And while there are good people calling out discrimination and racism, in this case they have just hitched their wagon to the wrong horse.

Interesting. The comments aren’t very helpful since it seems that few know the truth. Therefore they expand into critiques of the Catholic Church generally or, on the other side, apples and oranges comparisons with Bryan Station High School. LCHS was never on our radar when we lived there; our kids would probably have gone to Lafayette.
