Dear RHS Parents and Students,
We have been made aware of a Twitter account of a highly offensive nature that was posted yesterday afternoon. The account, "RHSDailyQueer," apparently was taken down in short order following a very rapid and strong backlash from significant numbers of students and alumni. Additionally, we have learned of other Twitter accounts posted by RHS students that are offensive, demeaning and otherwise highly inappropriate. The high school administration is aggressively investigating this matter.
I am gratified to see the overwhelming response on the part of our students and graduates to this appalling behavior, and want to assure everyone in our community that these actions will not be tolerated and that there is no place for the attitudes reflected by these actions in Ridgefield High School. It is our goal and commitment to ensure that every student at RHS feels safe, comfortable and valued.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Jaslow
RHS Principal
