(69,490 posts)I've tried to read more about this case, but there seems to be just one single article that is being picked up all over the internet.
I reacted emotionally at first and then paused, probably because some aspects of this story remind me of some things I've witnessed in the past. But I don't know anything.
So far, all we have is a single news story that states what the lawsuit says - although the lawsuit itself isn't public - and what the school district says, which is that they vigorously dispute the accusations.
No evidence is offered. No proof. Despite that, at least one poster in this thread is insisting that the article includes proof that isn't there. Many other posters assume the headline is true without question.
And we wonder how Trump got elected. Here's a clear example of well-meaning Democrats taking an accusation and running with it.
Maybe the story is true. Maybe it isn't. When did it become socially unacceptable to wait and see?
