Ep. 47 - Who's Alone with Your Child at School?

This episode covers the controversy in Albemarle County schools after two elementary school staff members were arrested on child sex-crime-related charges, and it argues that the situation exposes deeper failures in school leadership and parent communication. Rob Schilling and Noah Coffin say the community is shocked, but not entirely surprised, pointing to what they describe as a long-running culture problem in the district. They criticize the superintendent and school board for not acting quickly enough, for mishandling communication with families, and for allowing policies they believe leave children vulnerable. They also discuss Turning Point USA’s role on campus, the pushback they say the chapter has faced, and how the controversy has intensified tensions in the district.
