More than 2,100 students from Baton Rouge high schools were excused from classes Tuesday morning and hopped on school buses to attend what was billed as a “College & Career Fair.”

Some students, however, came away from this districtwide field trip upset, saying what they participated in felt more like a church service.

“The majority of students chose to attend this field trip on the promise of free food and the opportunity to skip class, however the majority of students were not only disappointed by this event, but traumatized as well," Alexis Budyach, a senior at Baton Rouge Magnet High, wrote in a Facebook post.

Superintendent Sito Narcisse did promotions in advance of the Day of Hope event and spoke briefly to the students who attended.

Brittney Byrant, a biology teacher at Woodlawn High and the mother of a senior at the school, was one of those who took to Facebook to register her concerns. She’d learned the day before that she was serving as a chaperone for the event, accompanying her child. Bryant particularly objected to the organizer’s decision to separate the audience by gender and have the girls listen to a series of emotional talks from three female speakers.

“They talked about rape (and) forgiving the offender, suicide, prayer leadership, and many more dark controversial topics. We had females in the bathrooms crying due to the topics of discussion,” Bryant wrote.

Another parent wrote on Facebook, “DAY OF HOPE? More like day of trauma. You prayed over my child, told her that she should remain abstinent, talked to her about suicide, and told her that if she’s being abused in a domestic violence situation that she should forgive her abuser even if he’s not sorry.”

1. That's fucking religious indoctrination and it's fucking illegal.

[Joinfortmill]

2. WTF???

[Demovictory9]

3. I know! Fun and games for the boys. . Abstinence talk and forgive your rapist for the girls

[Irish_Dem]

7. Yes all rights are going to males again. Rape is just part of their male privilege.

[Tetrachloride]

4. The Superintendent , or whoever arranged this, thinks he can get away

with this stunt.

Otherwise he would resign

[Walleye]

5. These religious assholes are gonna keep doing this shit until we stop them

[Irish_Dem]

6. Rapists are now being given privileged status. Rape is now being normalized.

Women are supposed to "forgive" them.

Forced to have the rapist's child.

Then give the rapist full visitation rights.

Making rape a right of males?

Like for most of human history?

8. Grooming them for the anti-Christ.

Seriously. There's a horror plot here someone needs to develop.

9. Seriously screwed up. Someone needs firing. Who paid for this crap?

10. Grooming the girls.

Would they recommend the same preemptive 'forgiveness' if the boys were being molested?

20. Exactly

11. WOW! 'Father' Alito and 'Boof' Kavanaugh

should LOVE reading about this - the 'plan' is working!!!

12. I wonder why

I wonder why our society forgives rape so easily.

So many people rush to defend alleged rapists, and even idolize a convicted rapist (Mike Tyson) being presented as a sex symbol women must have. Nothing happens anymore when a public figure is accused of rape anymore, now that the #MeToo Movement is over. I know a Trump supporter who is very happy about that. Rapists are apparently now getting visitation and custody rights of the children conceived by their acts of rape.

I noticed they sugarcoat for the rapist at this event, by only calling him the “offender.”

13. Sick, twisted fucks!

Just lie there and take the rape and forgive him and have his baby and let him come to your house and perhaps rape you again and spread his vile hatred of women to the child I would sue them if my daughter were included in this dehumanizing torturous experience.

14. Child abuse, exploitation of a minor, "forgive the offender"--was this a PUBLIC high school?

Can't get through the pay wall, but if local tax dollars are being spent this way, it sounds criminal. As a parent I'd be beyond furious.

[treestar]

15. OMG At least looks like it didn't work?

to some extent at least.

It's 2022, and this is "career" for girls?

[cbabe]

17. Why did students not walk away? Why did adults not

stop the abuse as it was happening, only commenting on social media?

School shut down with protests? Admins fired? Law suits filed?

[Demovictory9]

18. Not sure. California students would have shut that place down!!

Maybe Baton rouge students already too groomed

[Hekate]

19. Given that they came on buses, probably a long way home. Sounds like they walked to the restrooms

… where they cried a lot.
