I think tolerant parent needs to review what she wrote. She criticizes Dr. Whitfield for not reporting fraudulent activity and later cites that fraud is part of the lawsuit. What most professionals learn is that in a situation where something unethical is done, one should try to resolve the issue with the wrongdoer first. Perhaps Dr. Whitfiled attempted to resolve this or believed it to be a mistake initially? She did - well before she hired an attorney. Fortunately, the facts will be reviewed and the truth will prevail. Unfortunately, it will come at a high cost - financially, emotionally, and timewise - for many, many people, and ultimately take away from our kids.
I too was at the board meeting. It is an embarrassment to watch the so-called leaders of the community. More time was spent talking about sports and colors of hand railings than anything. No one hooted and hollered when it was reported that AYP was made. It's just sad. And the hecklers in the audience were a board member's husband, a board member's sister, and a board member's boyfriend. Nice. Real nice.
