Popular Post BandFan95 Posted October 5, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yesterday, a post on facebook started making the rounds and caught some steam. A person, (I say this because they honestly seem like a bot) had pics from Cedar Ridge's show and guard and went on a tirade about how the "devil," was being incorporated in our schools. This person stated that the school district was trying to teach our kids devil worship. She posted the phone numbers of the band director, head of RRISD fine arts and all of the email addresses of the school board members. This person did stated that when she spoke to the director, that he told her that they were gargoyles, not devils. Of course, they weren't satisfied with that answer. Last time I saw the post, it had been shared over 100 times before they took it down, however, someone else copied the post and reshared the details verbatim. I've made it known that I am a RRISD parent. Well I was since my kiddo graduated. But I still support all of the fine arts in the district. They have done a phenomenal job and do an outstanding job with their bands. I'm beyond pissed that some folks have nothing better to do with their time than to cause trouble. I post this here so that #1, the folks at Cedar Ridge can know that a TON of us current parents and former parents have your back! #2, we can help educate some of these folks who don't understand what a gargoyle is, and kindly point out that all over churches and buildings in Christian churches across the world have gargoyle statues placed in them.

WoodlandsMom4ever Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Wow. With all the legitimate things going on in the schools and fine arts programs getting cut- it boggles my mind that someone would go on a tirade about a show theme. I’m sorry RR is being targeted by this person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packwick Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 lol. outrage for a show about gargoyles. hooow religious is this person? were they on Sister Wives? i can't imagine how they would've reacted to that Northmont guard show w/ the demons and the hanging or that Avon guard show w/ the witches and i think pentagrams. all good fun. u see, this is why i could never teach. i would have promptly told the person i'm not interested in the opinions of stupid people and would have hung up on them. and this is reaaalllly the last thing we want band directors dealing with right now, what with all the resignations.

Rubisco Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Sometimes people are utterly ridiculous. Unfortunately, social media has given these sad individuals a bit of a megaphone. They should be ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
