In addition to your hostility, you seem to have an abundance of ignorance.

1. Priya Lynn comments on virtually EVERYTHING that is brought up at this blogsite.

2. Filson is suing the school, not the other way around. He is the one who is “accusing” the school district and specifically of releasing the results of the investigation. In this case, it is the school district that is innocent until proven guilty. Funny how that works, huh?

3. The school has conducted its investigation – as has the state – and its determinations are in.

4. Keep up with the “you don’t know” line and I’ll release exactly what I do know. Remember, your IP address tells a good deal more than you may wish that it did.

Thank you for the update on your husband’s trial. And I’m quite sure that the students who met with your husband today over lunch will readily confirm whatever it is that he wants them to say.

Please feel free to update us as you wish.

Timothy

Let me address your assertions one at a time:

I think that there are two sides to every story. How do we know that the kid was not lying about what was said to him?

Because two separate investigations found corroborating support.

I in no way shape or form condone bullying or any type of abuse. If these statements were true and had been documented after full investigation by the proper authorities, then I too would have to agree that those teachers should be punished at least lose their jobs and teaching licenses.

They were documented after full investigation,

However, those comments that the author Timothy Kincaid quoted are not fully verified by the state.

Those were direct quotes from the Minnesota Department of Human Rights report.

The teachers were never questioned, the majority of the students in the classroom were not questioned, and most importantly of all, the kid (now an adult) was not questioned appropriately.

Considering that you are factually wrong on everything else you have said, I’ll not give you the benefit of the doubt on this.

My point is that there is a legal system out there to protect ALL citizens. I believe that the author did not take in to consideration all the facts, because all of the facts have not yet been published.

But enough have been published to know the character of the people you are defending.

I also wonder why a picture of the “victim” has not been published in this article as pictures of the teachers have.

As you put “victim” in scare quotes, it’s clear that you have no empathy for a student that was bullied by adults.

I also want to speak to the comments made by Mihangel apYrs. Suicide is an issue that is very sad and does need to be addressed in society and our school systems. However, those lives are lost at their own hands.

You are a very evil person.

They may have felt that there was no other way and that they just could not live with the situations they were in. But when someone takes another’s life, that is not suicide, that is murder.

Nine students in this school district committed suicide within the past year alone. Four were directly linked to anti-gay bullying.

At the point in which you see a problem, when it becomes clear that bullying leads to death, and you do nothing to stop the bullying, you are morally complicit in the death.

The victim does not have a say in whether they live or die, the murderer does. That is the difference between death threats and suicide thoughts.

The only “death threats” in this story come from your claims. Frankly, you are not a credible source.

Please do not classify them in the same bucket. I really can not believe that you think innocent people should die:

no, but clearly you do, provided it’s “at their own hands”

at least that is what is being implied by your message. Would you “own” up to something that you did not do? How can we ask the teachers to do that if they did not “do” as they have been accused?

Sure. Except that they did. As two separate investigations found.

I am just asking that people look at the facts and not just what is being written and stated in the media.

We have looked at the facts. We also see you coming here with a big pile of excuses and red herrings and nonsense.

From what you write it is EXTREMELY clear that you care nothing whatsoever about children being bullied by teachers. You care nothing about the suicide rate in this district.

You only care that these two teacher be given a pass to continue tormenting other children that they suspect of being gay. What an amazing level of evil you must have in your heart.

Teri, it’s been open season on all kinds of kids with tragic results. This is hardly new, it’s been going on for decades, but only now has made it to national discussion.
But as we can see, a GAY kid or one perceived to be, was not only singled out by students but teachers as well.
Meaning, the teachers, with their position of influence and power to challenge and stop such a thing, engaged in it as well.

And particularly when it was gay related.
There IS no other side to this, just because the teachers in question are too immature and cowardly to own up to THEIR behavior.
They aren’t even denying they did it really. They just don’t like that there are consequences to it.
