Jim McGwin Brings Issues Ignored By North Kingstown School Committee On Child Abuse While Declaring Divisive PRIDE Month

At a 5-10-22 North Kingstown, RI school committee meeting, Jim McGwin took issue with the SEL/athletic presentation that neglects to survey townsfolk in regards to their temper and sentiment of sexual improprieties involving a coach, Aaron Thomas and most recently, three more dismissed members of the school faculty or staff.

Next on the list of concerns was the school’s willingness to give an entire month for Asian-American Pacific Islanders and PRIDE while ignoring the balance of students. Yet, given the school’s foibles with Aaron Thomas and most recently, the dismissal of three more school members for sexual improprieties, but not a mention for President Biden’s proclamation that April be deemed National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Lastly, he asked the school committee to vote on a resolution for Senate Bill 2219 that would make it illegal for any persons in a leadership role to engage in ANY sexual activity with a student regardless if consent is given.
