Quote:Students at a North Carolina High School walked out of class in protest on Wednesday after learning the school administration suspended a student after that student reported they had been sexually assaulted.

Hawthorne Academy High School in Charlotte had a crowd of over 100 students gathered outside to voice concerns regarding how the school handled allegations of sexual violence, according to WBTV.

Hawthorne Academy High School suspended the female student last month after reporting to faculty that she was sexually assaulted by a male student.

The student told WBTV that the Title IX education class she sat through at the start of the school year encouraged her to report the sexual assault.

Under Title IX policies, the school contacted the police and after further investigation the male student was charged with sexual battery. However, the school accused the female student of lying despite the charges from police and suspended her.

Nick Ochsner, WBTV Chief Investigative Reporter, confronted the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board attempting to get answers from multiple board members but they refused to answer his questions.

A spokesperson for the school district sent a statement to WBTV and said the school carefully reviews Title IX reports and takes action when "necessary."

"District leaders review assertions of Title IX reporting problems and will take appropriate action in the event any review reveals action is necessary," Patrick Smith said in an email to WBTV.

Earnest Wilson, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent, sent a statement to parents which indicated that the district takes reports of sexual assault seriously.

"As a parent, I understand the concerns many families are sharing about news coverage of incidents of misconduct. It is difficult for me to not give in to the parental instinct of providing information to help others gain a better understanding of situations, which many times prove more complex than news reports might lead one to conclude."

"As the leader of the district, I am bound by law to not disclose confidential information about such matters as individual student discipline or ongoing police investigations."

"We take all allegations of misconduct very seriously, and our staff is trained to follow proper procedures in reporting. District leaders review assertions of Title IX reporting problems and will take appropriate action in the event any review reveals action is necessary."

"Earlier this year, I requested the creation of a Title IX task force. That task force has been working together to discuss recommended improvements in how our district handles allegations of misconduct. In a few weeks, I will receive a report from the task force. I will review the report for recommendations to make our schools safer," Wilson concluded.

So is the assailant Black or is he related to a school board member?

Believe all women, unless it's not politically beneficial. Isn't that right, liberals?

the girl was rude as she got off the bus

Probably mean tweets.

Quote:In an interview with WBTV, the girl said the male student had continuously harassed her until one day his behavior escalated.

"He would, like, come into the bathroom and he would push me into the stall," the girl said. "He put his hands in my pants and then he was like touching my breasts."

The girl's mother told WBTV that the school conducted its own investigation and found "no evidence" that supported her daughter's sexual assault claim.

School administrators told the mom that they'd "give her a day of suspension."

"I asked the principal, I said, 'Well, if the police are telling me that he did do these things, he admitted to them, and that I have the right to press charges, you're telling me this didn't happen?'" the mother told WBTV.

The principal, in reply, allegedly told the mother that the police have "nothing to do with" any decisions from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the district to which Hawthorne Academy belongs.

The principal also told the mother that there's "nothing else that we can do about this,'" WBTV reported.

School officials also forced the 15-year-old to attend a training called "Sexual Harassment is Preventable," according to WBTV.

"They are making her feel like she is being punished for coming forward," the mother said.

"That scares me because she told me how hard it was for her to come out and tell this story to me to the school, to the police," she added, according to the local outlet.
