Know any crusading journalists, David?
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

David, I would recommend asking the principal what reassurances they were given that this guy won't pull the same shit again. If what he did was against district policy, then he probably got a warning, and there should be a process in place for reporting if he does it again. That may be all you can do at this point, but it's good to know the school officials are on your side.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, David, I'm sorry. That's terrible.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
RAAAAAGE. Goddamnit. And I DO NOT get it. Solo contacting the kids via social media and taking them out for ice cream ought to be a super-firing no-second-chances that-is-IT offense.
And feel free to weaponize me if you need to, (i.e., if the group starts whining about being persecuted just like Christ): "My churchgoing Sunday school teaching wife also thinks this is bullshit and wants him gone."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There was a shooting threat at the college my dad works at this morning. They caught him pretty quickly, but still. Not loving this.

David and JZ, that's appalling. I'm sorry you have to go through so much bother to make your school safe for your daughter. Your district leadership is full of crap.
I'm glad your dad's ok, Dana.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, David and JZ. Best of luck with this.

As you all might know, I am having a lot of dental work. Today, I had two fillings, which went well. When the blackboard off, I had this swollen rough lump under my tongue. After Googling like crazy with no real resu!ts, it has disappeared! I am glad I don't have tongue cancer!

Zmayhem, is there any way the parents can, as a group, file an injunction against this man contacting any of the children singly, by internet or in person, off-campus? If the district is going to allow him to keep his job, then can he be restricted to the job description and prevented by law from any other form of communication? You and the other concerned parents might have to hire your own counsel to make it so, if it can be done.
I wish there was such a thing as smiting capability, and that you guys had it.
Dana, glad your dad's okay. And Sophia, sorry for the cancer scare, and glad it wasn't!
