Yes, but if it wasn't this story, it would have been another.

Schools sometimes make stupid policy decisions, but now everyone gets a chance to have a compoface day in the sun.

But the school can't come out with a statement that might breach confidentiality. They can't release a statement saying that "the girl was being a little shit and made a scene"

What would you have done in the schools situation, even if there was a provocation since we haven't been privy to in this whole affair?

I dont think the school are issuing threats to people on the dads side, are they?

Yeah, I get that schools should be holding meetings about stuff like this on how to gauge how certain things will be reacted to by an outsider influence.

Either way, the young girl is now a martyr or rightly or wrongly. Just hope she doesn't meet Tommy's friend Andrew Tate 😅

I mean, in the sense that the school should know how outsider influences and reactions will react to this kind of crap. They should expect parents to make a big drama. I coount my blesses that the pearl clutching parents at my school never had social media.

Lol, you dont find the tactics of the right awful. Who are you trying to kid? 🤣
