DO NOT send your child to Wapakoneta High School. In the past few years I have seen the exposing of students who go/did go there being extremely racist & basically being a hate group of their own. Sure kids make mistakes & can grow from mistakes BUT a child will NOT grow from a mistake when disciplinary actions are not taken to show how & why their actions were a mistake. No matter what your political stance is at no time should that make you feel obligated to make someone feel unwelcome, suicidal, embarrassed, etc. of who they are or associate with, As long as it does not harm you or cause a threat it’s easy to go on about your day while still believing in what you choose.
