also very valid points. Do we know for sure this was actually delivered to them?
All I see at this point are the claims. But for the sake of discussing it, I'll have to assume that at least that part is true, but who knows.
Some of us will never be able to understand minds that don't function properly. Regardless of what the actual truth is here, someone is being very hateful, and trying to cause damage to someone else.
It's repulsive to me.

No where in the article does it say the teacher has an amazon account questionseverything Jul 2023 #135

There's no proof of any of their accusations. yardwork Jul 2023 #150

Defamation / Libel NowISeetheLight Jul 2023 #38

To be fair to the school's claim of innocence, we don't know details on how that info was revealed. BeckyDem Jul 2023 #42

So if Amazon resists government subpoenas, why would they reveal customer info to an ordinary person yardwork Jul 2023 #47
