Timberline High School

Senior night.

And in Boise, Idaho, Timberline High School is going to play the Post Falls High School.

The Timberline Wolves versus the Post Falls Trojans.

And it is said it's going to be a pretty tense game.

Needless to say, I mean, this year seems like it's going to be a lot more tense than last year.

Because it's not, I mean, it's not even because of Post Falls High School, but it's because of Timberline.

Timberline High School has been in the national news as of recent.

They have been having a rough month with protests, police, authorities getting involved with their high school, as well as full-blown student walkouts.

This is in the United States.

Threats to a female student in a high school football group chat at Timberline High School in Boise, Idaho.

He said lots of nasty things, including, you think Cornell was bad, just wait for us, threats to this female student.

Last Friday's homecoming game was canceled.

The student's mom was also given the entire process of filing a full Title IX complaint at that time.

When Timberline called an SRO sergeant, it was shared that officers were assisting with the homecoming parade at Capitol High School, and they would try to get someone over there before the end of the day.

Principal Wright called me, and I immediately called Bryce England, our safety and security supervisor, and shared with him that we needed someone at Timberline immediately.

Then we have comments from the Boise School District.

So they called the police, and the police said they were busy.

So people that have been bagging on Timberline, people that have been bagging on the administration, People that have been bagging on, you know, the lack of response.

And we'll hear the rest of this.

This is from the Boise School District.

The Boise School District Board of Trustees last night praised district staff's response earlier this month to the report of threatening messages shared in a group chat among some football players at Timberline High School.

Many students had protested at the school last week and circulated an online petition demanding immediate accountability for those involved.

And now that case has become part of a troubling situation right here in Idaho.

Police are investigating allegations that members of Boise's Timberline High School's football team shared violent messages in a group chat, including threats of rape and murder directed at a female student.

Now, one of those messages reportedly referenced the Cornell case.

Those allegations have sparked outrage, a student walkout, and the cancellation of Timberline's homecoming football game.

Liz, it's really nice to have you back on the show.

Yes, thank you.

So Liz, I wanted to start our conversation today with what's happened at Timberline High School in Boise.

When you hear about teenage boys allegedly making these kinds of violent threats against a female classmate, I'm curious, what goes through your mind?

Uh, an email went out to all the students where the superintendent really stressed that there's no place for this in the schools, and this is, this is a big, you know, issue.

It always has been, uh, but it recently with the, you know, issue with Timberline High School in, uh, Boise, I think that schools all over the state are paying attention to this and letting, letting the football players know that they take it seriously, and if this sort of activity happens, they're not going to be able to play, and that could ultimately affect their rankings in the playoffs and, and future games if they have to forfeit these games and not play against rivals and, you know, up their, up their scores.

Well, um, and yeah, and in the Timberline case, there were allegations of a, a, you know, alleged maybe sexual assault, uh, that could've happened, and, and they had to forfeit a game too.

This seems to be a, like you said, a thing where they're taking, um, all of these things very seriously.

Regardless of how you get your news, we thank you for giving us an opportunity each and every day to earn your listenership.

But the situation going on in Timberline High School, where apparently, and it really wasn't apparently, you had kids decide to walk out.

And they decided, hey, and...

The world moves so fast today.

So we leave school.

You're actually supposed to be in school.

And now, according to Channel 6, we not only have folks in Timberline High School, but other high schools doing this.

Apparently, there was a walkout from people at Renaissance High School, which is, you know, one of the nicer public high schools in the state of Idaho, certainly in the Treasure Valley, because they're rallying in Meridian over the Cornell 7.
