Open Quote Leadership in the school district has some twisted perspective. While attending the White Elephant orchestra put on by SHS, WGH and Anza trail (K-8) there was a ridiculous skit about being gay but pretending to be straight, so they can get a part in a play. This skit leads into a suicide attempt, bullying tactics between a Manager and his subordinate. Ending with a petite female screaming ing the face of the (straight kid, acting gay, acting not gay) What a disgusting display and poor choice of tactics during a public showcase of the school my taxes pay for and kids attend.

Open Quote Two stars says it all. That is just my opinion, though. Find out for yourself. Keep in mind if you have a valid issue, don't waste your time talking to admin. They are there to protect their school. As for safety for all as they preach, the school has a high level of bullying. Close Quote
