Your former school superintendent is now at our district. Do you know if Bruce Borchers was involved in the gay bashing?
A am not the person to ask that for an authoritative answer. Contact me privately if you really want me to try to look into it.

And witnesses. The people they talked to that just saw the hair cutting incident were deeply affected by it.
