LOL. Christians often act morally superior, and recommend their schools for the safety of the children. Given that they do that, I think its reasonable. If this happened in ANY religious school I would expect it to be mentioned.
Also...Its LITERALLY in the schools name. Midland Christian School.
He's talking about the title of the thread.
LMK know when thread titles start with Public School Admins charged with coverup.
In this case the incident took place last month and the arrests were quick.
I seem to recall in the transgender PUBLIC school rape there was major coverups and it took months to deal with. Don't recall hearing of any admin arrests at that public school. Although the dad of the girl that was assaulted was arrested at a board meeting.
Maybe if she had gone to a Christian school, it would've been investigated more swiftly and admins would've been charged. One never knows.

The name of the school is Midland Christian School. The article doesn't make a point of these people being Christians - in fact, I had to google this school to confirm that it is, in fact, a private Christian school and the name wasn't just a coincidence.
I think we can all agree that's not the first time this has happened at that school. Hazing grows, and once it takes hold in an organization, worsens with each passing year.
An aside, this was not unheard of when I was in high school. Boys ganging up on boys and assaulting them with instruments of some kind. And was ignored, and often not reported by the victim out of embarrassment.
Wonder if this will snowball, or if everyone now has shut their mouths about the past there.

I remember that case, and it did result in charges.
To be fair, it was a little tricky to tell whether in that case, the behavior was consensual since she had initiated the act, and had participated a few times before in the same restroom with the same boy consensually. Trickier than this case.

How long did it take?
The school board knew about it and did nothing.
If that had been a "Christian" school it would have been birddogged in the press.
Since it was a public school and the initial reports were that the male was a transgender, the press tiptoed the line, and the school admins did nothing.
There were multiple threads on C-D about this. And educators weighed in on those threads and said flat out the school was at fault in how it was handled.
Like I said, if she was assaulted at a "Christian" school, maybe justice would've been more swift. One never knows.

The assaulter in the VA case was quietly moved to another school where he sexually assaulted a second teen.
seeing this happened makes me wonder if this Christian school is full of full pedophiles and groomers. Often the apple cart doesn't fall before the tree.
No my argument is that it doesn't make a hill of **** whether the school is "Christian" or not. Either the people working there did or did not cover a rape up. Would it have been any less heinous if the perpetrators were Sikhi? Or Shinto? What is the point of broadcasting a criminal's religion? I don't care if the criminal is Athena herself directly from Mount Olympus. Why should that matter in the least? She's either guilty or innocent regardless of her religion or title.
But that is all beside the point, because you know as well as I do why that label was included in the story. It's the same reason that if a mass shooter happens to be white, his race is in bold headline and if he happens to be black, it is never even mentioned or is conveniently hidden as much as possible.
And I'm not talking about the word being in the school's name. I'm talking about the overemphasis and feigned outrage because it happened to be Christian. Big deal. Christians screw up just like everyone else. And there are good and bad Christians just like there are good and bad of everyone else.
If fewer Christians acted as if they held some sort of universal moral or ethical truth, it probably wouldn't be headline news when they failed to notice the beam in their own eye. But as long as they argue - loudly - that the entire country is founded on their ethos and that everyone should follow it, no matter their personal convictions - well, then they're going to be held to the standard they preach. Tough nookie.
