Yes all those things are absolutely still true and the board does owe a big apology to the community and the fifth ward. I wouldn't keep your hopes up though.

I think at this point, it's about damage control and reigning in their pet projects, such as solving climate change with a K-5 school.

Solving climate change with 5th Ward School 😂

I wish someone would shake out what really happened there. The teachers all seemed to get it within 24 hrs of the incident. From what I hear it’s nothing like the narrative promulgated--yeah, I know...shocker. Yet I was surprised at the meeting how many people still believe the Horton narrative.

PS - I’ve heard that several difficult kids were taken out of haven and that things are much better. No one talking about it; it’s hidden. But that’s part of why things went from 5-alarm fire to relative quiet within a relatively short period of time.

PPS - After the noose incident at Haven, there was a swastika incident at Nichols. Does anyone know about that? Remember all the emails, articles, peace circles? Yeah, me neither. 🦗 🦗 🦗

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who remembered the swastika!

The swastika was an edgy 7th grader who couldn’t draw an acceptable penis.

@svetlana - apologies for hijacking your post --I thought you were talking about Haven’s climate, not THE climate change. 😬🤣
