I had a person [affiliated] with the school tell me what they had learned about the school attempting to cover up the whole story. I recently saw my senior yearbook, I flipped right to the sports basketball page only to find my senior basketball picture missing…which devastated me.
Despite eyewitnesses confirming that Maldonado’s being harassed for his sexuality, the school refuses to answer any questions or even dispute Maldonado’s claims.
