Considering how keyed in churches tend to be with local cops/fascists and that the cops and news stories would have contacted the church to find out if he had done anything else: They knew.

But this is an educated guess; there is nothing in the article to support this timeline of events.

Depending on who you believe, Ivey’s formal association with the church ended 20 months previous, or maybe he was seen at the church in an unofficial capacity as recently as June. Either way, there’s nothing here to suggest police had contacted the church or notified them. It would certainly be reasonable diligence for them to do so, but then police are not known for diligence. They may have also been concerned that someone would tip off Ivey and he would become a flight risk.

The absolute bare minimum is to send out an email the moment the information is public

Agreed. It is disappointing (if not surprising) that the church leadership did not IMMEDIATELY assess potential impact to the children of the church and school where Ivey volunteered.

What’s wrong about not having critical race theory in classrooms? Like, seeing it from an outside perspective it just sounds like a racist “one eye for an eye” with a Marxist lenses

Edit: maybe instead of just downvoting what you don’t like to hear you should try to explain why critical race theory is actually good and why it should be taught in schools as something more than a radical ideology that appeared in the 60s

I made the comment originally because I thought that’s what they were doing, but now I think they meant “the church” as just that specific church.
