Everyone at Taft is upset about it ( all the alums , too ) because it’s deeply troubling and offensive and it reflects badly on everyone… it’s an outrage and whoever did this should be expelled immediately.
The last paragraph in the article should tell everyone that Taft has zero tolerance and they’re taking this very seriously:
" Watertown police said the school made them aware of the situation, and if it identifies the person or people responsible and the students would like to press charges this could then become a criminal case. "
For people who haven’t been around BS that long… that’s a welcome departure from the DOS finding the person or people responsible and expelling them. The involvement of the Watertown Police Department sends a clear signal that that this type of behavior is not only unacceptable but there are clear and very serious consequences beyond expulsion.
