"According to the July 6 complaint, Denise and Kevin Anderson say the package was sent to their seven-year-old son — only referred to as 'J.A.' — by Amazon on July 9, 2021, but there was no sender information," reported Brooke Leigh Howard.

"During the 2021-22 school year, administrators of Woodland School in Warren had access to students’ addresses for remote learning, the complaint says. Denise determined that the package was ordered by her son’s second-grade teacher, Christine Rzasa, after speaking with Amazon’s customer service, the suit says. The complaint says J.A.’s 'appearance easily identifies him as a member of the mixed-race community.' His mother is Afro-Latina, and his father is white."

This teacher needs to be kicked out of the profession.

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

I don't know. Maybe? yardwork Jul 2023 #59

Yes they told the mother that is how she found out, and in the end Amazon will have to comply Demsrule86 Jul 2023 #62
