Other parents said Bonano would make inappropriate comments to girls and would ask them to do stretches they were uncomfortable with. Parents said it’s been going on for years.” [WRAL]

Zebulon Police Praise “Courage And Bravery” Of Student Who Came Forward. “School should be a place for students to feel safe. Teachers are our children’s guardians when they are at school. Any activity that threatens the sanctity of the school house has no place in this community and our officers will work tirelessly to make certain our children are protected. We commend the courage and bravery of the student who came forward. Their fearlessness likely saved another student from having to endure what they did. We should all aspire to have such valor.” [Zebulon Police Statement]
