But the story was mentioned in the US Spectator.
Yeah parts of the left have been claiming it’s a right wing false flag to attack LGBT people.galileo2333 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 11:02 pm

Twinfield Union School
Dear Twinfield School Community,
I am writing to share important information regarding the recent concerns surrounding the Onion River Campground (ORC) that abuts our school’s property. We have been in discussions with the Vermont State Police and Homeland Security over the past two days. We have been told by law enforcement that they do not believe there will be any gathering of people who align with Minor Attracted People (MAP) at ORC this weekend. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff, and after consultations with local law enforcement, we are confident that we can hold school safely this week. If your family would feel more comfortable with your student(s) not attending school this Thursday or Friday, you may choose to keep them home with the absences considered excused. Please call Ella in the front office to communicate if this is your plan.
On Thursday, September 19th and Friday, September 20th, we will have State Police and Homeland Security officers on site, both in uniform and in plain clothes, to enhance our security measures and to allay fears to the best of their abilities. Students will not be in the woods on Thursday or Friday. When students are outside for recess, they will be closely supervised by staff in open areas. We will also be limiting access to the building for the rest of this week. If you come to pick up your child, staff will meet you at the door. To add another level of security for our students, our cross-country team will not be using the trails this week for their practices.
In addition, Twinfield School will no longer participate in any shared activities with Onion River Campground. We are actively exploring fencing options to establish a clearer physical boundary between our properties and will be implementing proper signage to denote the boundaries between the school and neighboring private properties. Our campus, playground, and trails will continue to be unavailable for public use during school hours. This has been our practice, but we will be posting signs to clearly communicate this.
I want to remind everyone that Twinfield School is a locked and monitored campus. We have continuous surveillance through internal and external cameras, and access to the building is controlled. Our students are supervised at all times for their safety.
To further discuss our safety protocols and the recent situation involving ORC, we invite you to a community meeting in the Twinfield cafeteria on Tuesday, September 24th from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. During this meeting, the school administration will review our safety procedures and the steps we are taking moving forward. We are offering the cafeteria space to continue the community conversation that began at the recent Marshfield Selectboard meeting. We hope this gathering will also foster a broader conversation about our collective efforts to maintain a safe community for our students.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to ensure a safe environment for our students and the greater community.
Sincerely,
Matt Foster
Superintendent
Caledonia Central Supervisory Union
I actually feel kind of bad for them. The response is clearly unnecessary. MAPs who are open about being MAPs are the least likely to be harmful and most likely to be harmed. Being out you paint a target on your own back, which gives you a huge incentive not to trip. But the local community has bought into the stereotypes and media depictions. And they are acting to protect kids based on that. They are being highly inconvenienced and having their school disrupted as a result. So I kind of feel bad, but they are victim to their own wild misunderstandings.Reminder: Friday September 20th, 2024 is a half day with 12:00pm dismissal.
