Saying F*** It to This Article From Framingham

Sorry, folks, but I'm just not very enthusiastic and more than a little annoyed at the pos BG today:

The Framingham school district has agreed to respond “promptly and equitably” to future complaints of sexual harassment and is overhauling its policies, more than a year after a male student allegedly assaulted two female students inside the high school.

The school district volunteered to make the changes, with the help of two paid consultants, to end an investigation by the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

Kevin Fox, a former social worker at the high school, filed the complaint in March because he said the school had done too little to investigate reports of the assaults, which allegedly occurred in 2012.

Fox resigned in March, the day of an assembly about violence against women, because he believed administrators had mishandled the case. “I really couldn’t stand the hypocrisy any more,” he said. Some students protested the school’s response as well.

I don't believe anything they claim anymore, and what I do believe is presented in such an insultingly elitist way as too make it unreadable -- which explains much about the Globe's current circulation and sale predicament.

“I’m delighted with it,” Fox said. “I think it was absolutely necessary. I think it is going to put into place rigid guidelines that those who work at the place need to follow.”

The federal office was investigating Fox’s allegations that the district failed to respond to a hostile environment based on gender at the high school and did not have a procedure for addressing complaints of sex discrimination....
