484 this morning! Daily more and more persons of good will like yourself realize that there is only one right side when it comes to speaking out against systemic sexual abuse of children in our schools. As I proceed here with survivors of this particular school, my sister among them, I am hearing from people across this country who know that this was happening in their high schools or is happening in their high schools as well. People from other countries have told me stories! 
Yesterday, the Superintendent of this particular district sent me an email and sent it out to all staff and parents of current students as well, in an attempt to convince us that the district has made some recommended changes and basically is on top of it all, so we may rest at ease now. The experts (who are the latest version of the experts who have been allowing and protecting this systemic abuse for fifty years) are in control. 
The Superintendent does  not answer a few critical questions: 1. "Will you, Superintendent, assure the community, the parents and the children that no one mentioned on the list of 30 perpetrators is currently working for the schools or District?" My guess is you will not because you can not without lying.
2. "Do you have ANY plans to hold ANY of the 30 named perpetrators accountable?"
3. "Will the District be offering a substantial and sincere apology to the thousands of survivors of sexual predation in the Kirkwood School District?"
4. "Will the District and School make what they know available to the courts in the trials underway or coming when requested to by lawyers or will they continue to obstruct justice by holding down the lid on vital relevant information that would help see that justice is done, perpetrators are held accountable and major changes are made to safeguard the children?"
It is as the past does not exist for them. Survivors, predators, thousands of incidents of abuse are all to be forgotten. No one is held accountable. And, I suggest to each of you, that we can not let this happen!  I suggest further, that we are doing nothing wrong in demanding that the children be protected! We are acting, not as subversives against the community or against the school, but as Child Protectors! And I thank each of you for doing so and for encouraging others to do the same. We will blow by 500 signatures today on our way to 600. But my hope is 3000 at least within the next month or two. And this can and will happen, have no doubt.
