I have felt since I came to Chester County that Great Valley School District doesn’t see all kids equally. And that includes the immigrant population.
They should. It’s a diverse community, just as we in Chester County are a diverse population. So blondie the principal should know better. But instead I feel she is ruling with a heavy, even petty hand.
I shared before the school stuperintendant’s recent love letter to parents:
I wrote about it here:
This school district doesn’t treat everyone equally and they are thuggish. They are allowing a club that represents a lot of the negative these kids see, and we all see at this point. But they won’t consider other things?
These kids are upset and unnerved by this world. They see kids being separated from their parents in this terrifying era our country finds itself in. So imagine my disgust in reading the following missive from Dr. Seems Like a Hard Ass:
What. A. Bitch.
Let’s get real. Does anyone feel safe protesting these days? Nope. But these kids are feeling like they need to be heard. Why does this principal not get that? Why can’t she find a happy medium like Rustin High School did?
Rustin which is part of WCASD managed a student desired walk out with minimal fuss. They set boundaries and parameters and it was mostly ok. Ironically the “club” which is not about indoctrination that Great Valley just approved has a sister chapter over in West Chester Area School District. They didn’t like it that Rustin worked this out with students. Have a listen and note this post was public:
So I leave it there. I think Great Valley needs to do better. And in the end when a principal rules with an uneven and heavy hand, it doesn’t work so well, does it? Instead of ferreting out whom they deem “bad kids” maybe they should do a listening tour instead?
Great Valley isn’t so great these days.
PS please note BS below and then tell me again which group is the greater danger?

Thank you for providing a comparison. As a GVHS parent, I received the email from the principal as a follow-up to one written by the superintendent earlier in the week. I have written to Dr. C to voice my concern about how this is being handled. Rustin has provided a workable framework that is minimally disruptive but allows the kids to exercise their first amendment rights. Hopefully other GVHS parents will also encourage the school to revisit this issue.
