I graduated in '07, but I cannot imagine that the school has changed that much. Having transferred from a private school to public, in middle school, going to LPHS was a blessing for me! The teachers really cared about us! LPHS was always an academic oriented school. Where free thoughts and opinions were encouraged. This media hype is ridiculous. There is no way with some of the same faculty that worked there when my mother worked there that something wouldn't have been done about this before it became what it became. Referring to Jennifer H's post, I can see that the situation was likely blown out of proportion. -- I was ill my senior year and my Latin teacher came to my HOUSE to help me keep up with my studies! I was too sick to go to school and that is how much they cared that I continue to learn and feel supported even though I couldn't make it into a classroom. -- My theater teacher gave me an award because I went on stage the day after one of my surgeries! -- This is not a school that would perpetuate hate or intend to create disruption of the well-being of their students, family members, or faculty.
If this is the school that is teaching the benefits of Islam in their school assignments but do not give equal aptitude to other world religions, this is what they've decided to do with taxpayers money? Very clearly see how the parent Mr. K. Wood could be very upset. They can teach on Islam but yet they can't learn about the 10 Commandments?
