And that makes me think that the parents don't all know the full truth of the matter, and would do somthing if they did.

Not all of them would do something. A bunch of these people probably hold strictly extremist views on this sort of thing.
The school is specifically using an entrapment policy on the parents. I think their views would vary.

One of my favorite things to do to some of my least favorite people is to sick 4chan on them, by providing websites and contact info to a thread there. Not really an effective solution to the problem, but they do mobilize, and come up with creative ways to approach things.

I actually thought of that, but 4chan generally does animals, not people... plus, what could they do?  DDOS attack?  Order stuff for them over the internet?  Inform the local law enforcement people?

... Show up in force (meaning maybe 3-6 people) wearing Guy Fawkes masks?

Dunno, man.  It's worth a shot, though.


Better Business Bureau... might be worth a shot.  There's always Amnesty International, but I think this may be a bit small for them.

Ohh yes... what better way to fight a horrible situation then with even worse tactics. *sarcasm*

All you need is the kids name. Then you look it up and find their address.
Other than that, persistance is needed to convince the parents that are nutjobs.

But yes, this whole thing seems hopeless. So sad.

Between 4chan's clientele and the Elan School's specialties, I imagine they'd be afraid to show up in person, for fear of the police just strongarming them into the building for enrollment.

Wow... I am surprised that your tactics are as bad as the school

Stalking children and harassing their parents with insults until they break down

I assume Bricks are involved, rocks, and lots of vandalism whether you intended to or not.

I'm sorry, but I consider harassment somewhat lower on the sliding scale than torture and rape.  Just a thought.

I'm still on the "send letters to the government and advocacy groups" team.

Except that this sort of campaign will likely lead to one of the parents dead

Slippery slope fallacy.

If you want to make that sort of statement, I request that you outline your logic.


Furthermore, there's no reason to attack the parents.  They may have acted incorrectly, but the real offender here is the school itself.

EDIT: just to say... I don't condone attacking anyone.  I don't think the school should be attacked or anything of the sort.  Peaceful protests: okay.  Violence: not okay.

I agree.

Yes, I think that sticking to legal ways is the best situation here.

Not Slippery Slope

Your starting a campaign based on HARASSMENT at all costs because your outraged.

It isn't a dip of logic to assume that people would take it seriously as proven by... well... any situation where it happened

I am just disgusted that no one here actually wants a real solution now.

No we won't try to change the laws... We will instead just create a series of increasingly violent petitions.
