Administrator Meicher’s update stated that, “It was brought to my attention today that there was a rumor floating out there that one of our students contracted Covid-19 while on the band trip to Florida two weeks ago. Let me assure you there is NO truth to this. This was a foolish means to get attention and the source of the rumor has been addressed. This rumor had caught the attention of our Public Health Department and she was involved in putting a stop to this nonsense. In times like this, the last thing we need out there is misinformation. I asked her to prepare a short statement for the purpose of this update. I’ve pasted it below.”

A petty bureaucrat in the school doesn’t want bad stats, so he is able to get the police to threaten the parents of the student with arrest for the student posting “thought crimes” on Instagram. Nice.
Sue the f’n school. Sue the f’n police dept that is apparently too complicit with the city to even have a dim thought about constitutionally protected rights. Sue all the MFers.
Just wow. This thing has really emboldened the tyrants. On what planet do they think this is appropriate? They seem to believe that the Constitution is put on hold, all rights can be bypassed, due to “but the virus”.
Makes you realize what they’d do if they had REAL power and we had no Constitution. Public schools are filth, that they even had the parents threatened implies they think they, not only, own the children but the parents rights as well.
This kind of crap needs to be directly confronted - “go ahead and arrest us officer” would have been the right response, although of course I can understand not doing it.
