Dear Ms. Gilden: I would like to take this opportunity to call to your attention a situation that occurred today concerning one of my sons, a senior at OVHS. My son Tim was standing in The Commons during a break today. Ms. Johnson approached him and made what I consider sexist comments about his hairstyle. She did not tell him it was a distraction, but did say that he was wearing it like a girl. …

…of the boys, she complained to another school official that she wanted to go home and go to bed. My son is 18 years of age and was not violating curfew. It seems that Ms. Johnson has a strong attitude against some teens. Given that this is the environment she was hired to work in, perhaps she needs to adjust her attitude. Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to address this issue. Sincerely,
