Waterhouse in Peterborough is one of our favorites.

>Finally switched to fidium and I wish I had done it

We are tentatively switching to Fidium this week! I'm a bit nervous since I work from home and things are reliable enough - but I am also over the poor customer service with Xfinity and annual pricing increases. But it sounds like you're loving it? Any complaints?

Hey there! No, I really don’t believe that a trans kid is running around bullying cis kids. My kid is at the middle school, and has a couple of trans friends. They are all bullied. If I had to guess, I’m inclined to think the trans kid crossed paths with one of their bullies, and some words were exchanged, and the trans kiddo had enough and stood up for themselves.

But I’m trying to approach it as objectively as possible, which is hard to do in general, and even harder once we notice the trend of this family firing off these allegations with minimal details, and only in the school year following a failed political run.

I’d love to see the data comparing the percentage of trans kids bullying cis kids, and cis kids bullying cis kids in bathrooms at the district. Pretty sure cis kids harm cis kids way more than trans kids are harming cis kids.

It really just seems like an effort to sow chaos, and it isn't lost on me that the parent emailed Wheeler only, rather than the whole Board. (That's my understanding of the situation, from the limited details we have in the news reports that I've come across.)

So good to know this, thanks for explaining!

That's a bit of a relief, and if that is true, it allows me to more seriously consider his and his wife's allegations.

How do you know they won't run for the school board again?

I've been following this drama, and at risk of my sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this: A resident of Milford ran for the school board last year, and didn't get elected. Last fall, a parent complained of their cis child being bullied by a trans kid in the bathroom - and if I am reading that article correctly, it looks like it was the spouse of the dejected school board candidate who submitted the concern to board member Wheeler - who then initiated looking into changing the district's gender affirming approach to bathroom usage.

On the day of the walkout by Milford students who were protesting the covering up of urinals, I noticed that the same dejected school board candidate made a comment on facebook about how teachers at the K-1 elementary school ask kids to not tell their parents about conversations they've had together - which sparked another big round of unrest.

The middle school principal has resigned (I'm assuming he received an influx of emails about the urinals, some kind and some quite awful), and the K-1 principal sent out an email to all parents of currently enrolled students that he is seeking more information regarding the allegation by the former school board candidate. The town is all over the news - in a bad way - and we have everyone upset (at the board, at the administrations, and LGBTQIA people, at each other).

I can't help but wonder if this school board candidate, who wasn't elected, was trying to create chaos, from which he could perhaps have a more successful run at getting on the board on the next go; the two complaints that keep getting everyone riled up and reacting appear to have been from the same couple/parents.

Oh nice! This is the sort of comment I was hoping for!

Any seafood or pizza places open and worth checking out this time of year there, that you can remember?
