This tweet is by NBC NY, announcing the investigation of BHS. I believe that without the power of social media and, survivors feeling brave enough to come forward, this investigation and no one still would probably know the events that transpire in Babylon High School.

Survivor, Brittany Rohl, and other survivors united to create a foundation dedicated to making policy changes about inappropriate behaviors by staff. Through social media, these individuals had the courage to use their voices and advocate for change to create this foundation. This site is a safe space for survivors to share their stories and experiences to the State Attorney General in hope to help make an everlasting change.

For decades, Babylon students have eagerly walked into their first day of junior high, naive to what the next 6 years may have in store for them.

For decades, Babylon parents have dropped their children off at the school doors, blissfully unaware of what would be waiting on the other side.

For decades, Babylon alumni have struggled to navigate the impact of their high school years and trauma.

And for decades, the Babylon Board of Education has let us down. It ends now.

The BHS Foundation is a group that will do everything in its power to right those wrongs. Made up of passionate alumni, parents, current students, and community members, the BHS Foundation will educate, advocate, and collaborate to build a better Babylon.

This is an Instagram post containing quotes from individuals speaking about Babylon High school. These individuals described how they felt as horrible, and no one should have to experience that. I hope with these quotes being shared; people continue to advocate for change.

One of the parents from Babylon took it upon themselves to help make a difference. Ken Silverman wrote a letter to the NYS Office of the Attorney General to investigate the disturbing allegations of sexual abuse occurring for decades.

After the recent BOE meeting at my old high school on November 15, 2021, multiple women shared their experiences of being manipulated and abused in the very building they were sitting in. The current students of Babylon planned a walkout during the first period to show they stand with the survivors and want change to feel safe in their classrooms. This link is a Twitter post showing a video of the student walkout.

This is a statement posted on Twitter from Jacyee Angello Slawson about her abuse in Babylon High School. Social media has been the primary outlet for survivors to tell their stories and claim back their justice.

With all of these examples, some hitting home to me, social media cannot only communicate to others but educate them. Social media gives people a voice that they might not have thought they had, from the systemic issues of critical race theory in education to the systemic problems of sexual abuse and grooming in my alma mater. Social media is a great way to share information with people. If we do not address these problems, we are a part of the problem. Change is needed, and managing the issues is the first step in making a difference for our students.

Brittany Rohl, a 2011 graduate from my alma mater, used her Instagram platform to help use her voice to expose her abuser. Brittany's post is heartbreaking, and it was only the start of women using their social media to share their "me too" experiences in Babylon High School.

My alma mater, Babylon High School, has recently been spotlighted for sexual allegations against teachers/coaches. With these allegations, the teachers were still allowed in the school building to teach students even though they could potentially be predators to the students they were supposed to be teaching. This clip is from a school BOE meeting where community members, students, and survivors pleaded to the board for a policy change for hours. There was even a sit-in to ensure that a change was made immediately to this policy.

I enjoyed this post because it explains what CRT is and how racism is embedded into all systems, such as politics and education.
