Over the last few weeks, I have searched the Washington Post and the Montgomery County Gazette for any reference to the arrest of Allyson Gulley, the teacher's aide at St. John the Evangelist School (Silver Spring, MD).
Now, I do not expect to see it in the Catholic Standard but not one word in either one of the other papers. The family and/or the Archdiocese must have some pretty strong pull with the Fourth Estate to keep this out of the papers.
In addition, one of my contacts was at the meeting held by the pastor and the "team" handling this matter at the school. He reports that it was a total waste of time. They had no answers (think the Sgt Schultz line -- "I know nothing!") and simply went over the Child Protection program.
