Poor victim... I mean he is the target of a serious investigation of discrimination after he completely and purposely failed to treat the s*xual harassment victim’s documented claims timely or properly. But that is what happens when the s*x har accused is your “boy” as Maultsby described Bowden!!!!
So now Bowden is trying to create a conspiracy against him by the teachers’ union and the victim.
are more accurate.
The magical trick of watch this hand while the other hand is tricking you and even stealing.
Shame on the Sarasota superintendent Bowden and the school board.
Great article.
We need the public outrage that this deserves.

I want my life to be an extension of Jesus’ work of loving your neighbor as yourself. My part in that, as I feel I am called, is to fight against injustice and to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.
Tonight I am praying God uses my words and my intentions to be pure and focused for this purpose.
Please watch and pray for me.
I heart Jesus and the opportunities He gives me to do His will in such amazing ways.

More news on NFL cheerleaders.

Noncheering cheerleaders are hired on looks and dressed like cheerleaders, but their primary job is to charm the team’s fans.
I love that Starbucks is doing something. They are saying “I hear you. I want to make sure things are done properly.”
This is my goal and hope for the NFL.
Once again, it's women who are seemingly being punished, through no fault of their own.
Another interesting article from the Guardian.

Taking aim at the women rather than their bosses further punishes the victims.

The Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security entered into an agreement Friday aimed at stopping U.S. companies from favoring foreign workers with visas over U.S. workers, according to documents first obtained by the Washington Examiner.
The NFL could use this opportunity to be the example of what an organization or company should do when faced with discrimination and s*xual harassment claims during this moment. Will the NFL is the question?

The NFL said late Friday that it will meet with the lawyer representing former cheerleaders Bailey Davis and Kristan Ann Ware, who have both filed discrimination claims against the league. NBC’s Morgan Radford reports for TODAY.
Look forward to real fairness and professionalism in cheerleading in the near future.
Collaboration for change.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/04/sports/nfl-cheerleaders.amp.html
The lawyer, who recently filed discrimination claims against the league, had offered to settle all claims for $1 each.
Now it is time for the real work to begin. Compliance, updating rules and internal company/organization audits is my forte.
This could be the first step to real change. I am so optimistic.

In letter to attorney Sara Blackwell, league proposes its first public action in growing controversy.
Watch for big announcement on Fox National network with Martha McCallum at 7 pm eastern time.
Did the NFL respond to our settlement demand? Deadline was today!!
In light of the latest NY Times story, Goodell is completely awful if he refuses to meet with us to create rules that are lawful and fair.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-nfl-should-listen-to-its-aggrieved-cheerleaders/2018/05/02/49296826-4d81-11e8-b725-92c89fe3ca4c_story.html?utm_term=.ebeb3affdab6
Former NFL cheerleaders make a compelling argument for the league boss to talk with them about respect, reform and fairness.
Honestly, it would be a big mistake if Goodell does not give us a chance to discuss rules and regulations that could protect the cheerleaders and protect the NFL and teams from future claims. Women are getting braver to speak the truth.
