BVSD Statement: Colorado World Affairs Conference Panel at Boulder High School PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 19 May 2007

BVSD News Release, May 17th, 2007


Statement by Dr. George F. García, Superintendent:

April 10 2007 Colorado World Affairs Conference Panel at Boulder High School


BOULDER – “The Boulder Valley School District, while proud of our ongoing

relationship with the University of Colorado’s annual Conference on World Affairs, does

regret that attendance at the CWA panel, held in the Boulder High School auditorium on

Tuesday, April 10, 2007, was required. This practice was never a part of the school’s

protocol for the annual World Affairs Conference panel. It was a mistake on the part of

the school and the district to require student attendance. Both the school principal and

district administration have apologized for this error and it will not happen again. The

district is reviewing, with school administrators, the complaint of a Boulder High School

parent regarding both the content and staging of the panel.

 

“The opinions expressed by the panel members concerning teen sexual activity and drug

use were their own and are not necessarily a reflection of the Boulder Valley School

District, its Board of Education or the administration and faculty of Boulder High

School. In fact, specific comments made that could be interpreted as advocating or even

glamorizing sexual relations among teens as well as condoning the use of illegal drugs

directly contradict district policy.

 

“The Boulder Valley School District supports the partnership between the Colorado

World Affairs Conference and Boulder High School. High school administration is

committed to valuing the rights of parents and students to individually and as a family

determine whether to listen to the panel or participate in any discussion arising from it.”

No. 2, Are you kidding me? As a U.S. Marine for 23 years, I'll be damned if this is what you call the "freedom our troops are dying for". I don't know one of my friends that serve with me that would want their taxpayer dollars to go toward a panel of idiots telling kids to go ahead and experiment with sex, drugs and whatever makes you feel good - as long as you know the consequences - it's a "choice". I read the entire transcript and I can guarantee you that we are not fighting for yours or anyone else's "freedom" to indoctrinate our kids. We, as parents are the moral authority. Your argument of "complete freedom" is baseless and immature. No country, state, city, or school can exist without laws and regulations.

No. 4 :
'try whatever you think you can handle' presented in this type of congenial atmosphere can in NO way highlight the gravity of the potential consequences of the actions sanctioned by the panel. The potential consequences are gritty, cold, hard real-life horror stories. I saw nothing in the transcript that even attempted to bring them to light. Casual mention of death, disease, preganancy, abortion, and failure do not get the message across in my opinion.

No. 5 :
The biggest mistake was the required attendance. A full disclosure letter should have been sent home to parents so that they could give permission for their child to attend. This was a gross oversight by the administration of the school and the school system. Panelists should have also submitted a document of the main points to be discussed so that full disclosure could be given.

No. 6 :
I am disturbed and yet not surprised at the way the topics were communicated. When we look at the media, this is what is portrayed there as well. I hope and pray that the panelists would reconsider their stance and take responsibility for not supporting better moral values.

No. 7 :
I cried when I heard this! These kids need to know how wrong those people were. I lived that way. It caused me NOTHING but heart ache and pain. Now I live with an STD that I can't get rid of. It won't kill me. But I have to tell anyone I get close to about it. I have to deal with the shame and guilt of living a wild lifestyle. It is not all it is built up to be. It leads to deep unhappiness.
