Assistant principal harassing a transgender boy in Harrison County BOE

-


Assistant principal who 'harassed a transgender boy by cornering him in the men's bathroom and insisting he use the urinal to prove his gender' is set to return to his role after being suspended



 The Harrison County Board of Education voted Tuesday evening to suspend an assistant principal without pay until February for an incident involving a transgender student

That suspension will end on February 8th when he will be allowed to return to school, pending he meets four requirements determined by the board.



It was after student Michael Critchfield, 15, said Livengood harassed him in a male-designated bathroom on November 27 and ordered him to use the urinal before saying, 'You freak me out'.  
'The board, with my recommendation, believes there should be a date certain on his unpaid suspension. I'm recommending that Mr. Livengood be reinstated on February 1 with certain stipulations that must be met prior to his reinstatement,' Harrison County Board of Education Superintendent Mark Manchin said at a meeting Tuesday. 'Those will be reduced to writing and shared with Mr. Livengood and the administration.'
The ACLU released a statement in response to the meeting.
“We’re encouraged by the productive discussion we had today with Superintendent Manchin. [The student] and his family were heartened with the outcome of the meeting and are now looking forward to working with the school district to make a more inclusive environment for LGBTQ students in Harrison County," the organization said. "Because of his bravery and willingness to come forward, we now have the opportunity to replicate and expand on inclusion practices in other counties across West Virginia to ensure this never happens again to anyone under any circumstance.”

The pair  ended their marriage with a bitter split in 2016 , with the custody battle over their six children turning ugly. Jane Pitt believes "manipulative" Angelina is to blame for Brad's emotional turmoil. "Jane is a tough cookie, and she will never forgive Angelina for what she’s put the family through – especially since they’ve barely seen the kids since the divorce was announced," In November, Jane’s grandchildren, Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, were put out of their misery as their parents Pitt, 55, and Jolie 43, reached a custody agreement. “A custody agreement was agreed to weeks ago, and has been signed by both parties and the judge,” Jolie’s lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean, told Entertainment Tonight in a statement on Nov. 30. “The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates the need for a trial,” she continued. “The filing and th

Trump want supporters to vote twice for him

 President Donald Trump suggested to his supporters on Friday night that if they vote by mail they should also attempt to vote in person as a way to check that their vote is counted, which risks causing chaos at the polls and undermining confidence in the election Voting twice is illegal, and voting experts and state election supervisors warned it could put voters at risk of committing fraud. Election officials and voting experts agreed that an individual’s ballot is unlikely to be counted twice, but most condemned Trump’s attempts to goad supporters into trying. Many states use bar-coded tracking systems or other markings on ballots to show whether someone has already voted by mail. That would prevent the individual from voting again at the polls. In some states, a mail-in vote would be discarded if it arrived after the person had voted at a polling station. But officials don’t want a glut of people at polling sites trying to test the system, or adding delays and possible disputes at
