Good news from the Wilton Board of Censorship, um, Education

(Good news: the complaint by the vile Barbara Alessi has been dispatched. Response from the Superintendent's office below. - promoted by mattw)

One of the clouds that's been hanging over the Voices In Conflict matter has been the Board of Education's response to the accusations of Wilton High School parent Barbara Alessi against theater teacher Bonnie Dickinson.

Alessi's charges, and an editorial supporting them, were published in the April 5 edition of the Wilton Bulletin, Wilton's "newspaper of record".

So this notice, passed on from the Playgoer blog, is good news:

We have received a number of emails expressing support for Bonnie Dickinson and concern over potential disciplinary action. I wish to clarify the situation. In April, we received a complaint from a parent about Ms. Dickinson. After receiving the complaint, we followed an investigative process that included administrative review of the complaint, an opportunity for both parties to be heard, and examination of the facts. After a thorough review we found no evidence that would justify disciplinary action against Ms. Dickinson. We consider the matter concluded.

On a separate note, we congratulate the students on their successful off-campus performances of the revised “Voices in Conflict” project.

Respectfully,
Gary G. Richards
Superintendent

..as in completely different from the controversial and confrontational play we had no choice but to censor.

What a load of bollocks.


All this could have been avoided ... (0.00 / 0)

This is not my blog.

Scarce, your persona has that air of mystery when certain MLN front-pagers aren't even sure who you are. But, Branfordboy did hint that you're from north of the border.

Do you live in Toronto?
