I thought I was done but maybe I'm not

So I thought I was done, for now at least, with being mad at my daughters' school. There I was, feeling all warm and fuzzy after having that really great talk with the counselor and I thought I could relax, have a glass of sangria or two and spend the weekend thinking about bunnies and glitter.

But then I found out a couple of things in the past twenty-four hours, and now I feel my blood starting to boil again. Apparently at this week's PTA meeting a parent stood up and revealed that one of the administrators has been accused of sexually molesting a girl at the school. I don't know who it is, I don't know the specifics of case - I couldn't attend this week's meeting but I'm hearing this from someone who was there. So that's what I have to go on, but I'm wondering why none of the parents knew about the accusations, about the fact that the police are involved and the person in question has been placed on administrative leave. I don't know protocol in a case like this - perhaps they keep it under wraps to avoid incriminating an innocent person, but I sure would like to know if someone who was accused of this crime was in direct contact with my children, and I'm sure there are alot of other parents who feel the same way.

And then I got a call last night from another mom who read my post on Kira's incident, and called to tell me something she witnessed at Back-to-School night. An administrator, not the same one who cited Kira, went up to a girl who was working as a student volunteer passing out campus maps and chaperoning parents to classrooms, and called her out on a dress-code violation. From what this mom tells me, he did it loudly and aggressively and in front of a group of parents and kids, shouting at her repeatedly to "just go home." She said the girl was upset and stunned as was everyone else.

So this is what I'm thinking, that all of these incidents may be pointing to a pattern of overly aggressive behavior by administrators aimed at the young girls attending this school. That administrators are overstepping boundaries when dealing with these young girls and not following protocol when trying to enforce rules.

That young girls, including my daughters, are being subjected to behavior on the part of some administrators that is demeaning, disrespectful, sexist and maybe in the case of one person, criminal.

And so, sorry everyone, but I don't think I'm done with this yet.
