We've taken every possible avenue to report the school administration and Friends of Budlong, but have been met with silence. It's really hard not to feel completely defeated and powerless to help.

Any real change we've tried to make has been met with resistance and outright refusal to collaborate. The school principal has made a career of sweeping issues under the rug, and the Friends of Budlong 501c3 is straight out of Nice White Parents.

Friends of Budlong illegally removed my admin credentials as part of my IT Chair board position before voting me off the board, and gave full administrative rights to a financial donor, giving them access to the entirety of the organizations financial data. Like everything else, swept under the rug.

I realize this will likely get no traction, but it is profoundly fucked. My family was pushed out of a school we had come to call home because my wife advocated for minority families.

Super late here because I literally just joined bluesky, but we loved the card!
