​A CULTURE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT IS RUNNING RAMPANT IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND WE THE PEOPLE OF COMAL COUNTY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF NO JUSTICE BEING SERVED. WE KNOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS ABUSE BECAUSE WE REPORT IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING US, AND YET YOU CONTINUE TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO OUR SUFFERING. TOO MANY OF OUR CITIZENS ARE SUBJECTED TO THIS ABUSE, AND YET THERE ARE ALMOST NO RESOURCES TO HELP THEM. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET JUSTICE.

THESE ARE OUR DEMANDS:

• FOR THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RECORDS OF ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND PERSONELL TO BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC, WITH NAMES, AND FOR THESE OFFICERS TO BE BANNED FROM INVESTIGATING ANY FUTURE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES, OR ANY OTHER CASES OF THIS KIND.

• FOR ALL PREVIOUS CASES INVESTIGATED BY THESE INDIVIDUALS TO BE REINVESTIGATED.

• FOR ALL PREVIOUSLY UNINVESTIGATED CLAIMS OR REPORTS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.

• FOR NEW BRAUNFELS POLICE AND SHERRIFF TO BECOME YHOP CERTIFIED
(WWW.REPORTINGOPTIONS.ORG

• FOR A REGISTRY OF PERSONS WHO SHARE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT IMAGES WITHOUT CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, SIMILAR TO THE SEX OFFENDERS REGISTRY.

• FOR ALL SCHOOLS OF ALL LEVELS IN COMAL COUNTY TO INCORPORATE A SEXUAL ASSUALT CURRICULUM INTO ALL SEX EDUCATION COURSES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
o VICTIM TESTIMONIES
o CONSENT; WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT
o HOW TO RECOGNIZE ABUSE BOTH AS A VICTIM AND AS AN UNINVOLVED 3RD PARTY
o RESOURCES FOR REPORTING ABUSE
o THIS CURRICULUM WILL BE DESIGNED USING LEADING EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD.

NONE OF THESE DEMANDS ARE NONSENSICAL NOR ILLOGICAL, SO THEY WILL BE MET BEFORE THE START OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR IN 2020. IT IS TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS DAMAGING TREND OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN OUR CITY AND IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND WE THE PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE IT.

SINCERELY,

WE THE PEOPLE
