Has anyone else been following the story about Mr. Manoogian at the High School? A bunch of boys have come forward and are talking to administration about how he touched them and he would get them to touch him. When I was in HS he use to try this with me best friend. Anyone else heard about it?? Wonder if the school is trying to keep it hush hush to save face? It’s been going on for a long time. Hope he gets what he deserves.

Oh you better hope you can prove this sonny. If not, the man will own you.

I heard he was suspended for touching boys. I also heard it was touching like putting his hands on their shoulders. Haven’t heard anything about it being sexual. But they must have something on him because he was suspended.

I don’t think I have to worry about being owned by anyone. The dude was suspended. I’ve heard conflicting stories on what all it entails but either way...let’s see how it plays out.

Opie, i have to give you credit, you are loyal.

Re: GC Teacher Touching Boys

GC student94, Are you 100% sure it isnt a parent posing as a teacher??

You should worry sonny. I'll out of retirement and represent Manoogian for free if this is an unsubstantiated rumor. You may not have anything worth owning but I'll take everything you have. Trust me.

This is the kind of crap that destroys people.

Re: GC Teacher Touching Boys

Not a matter of being loyal. We've seen on the national stage how these unsubstantiated rumors ruin the lives of good people.

The easy question for this douchebag is if it was going on in 94, why didn't he say anything. Like I said, people should really be smarter than to say something they can't back up Wally.

Opie, if it isnt true, i agree with you, its a messed up thing to do to anyone. I have to wonder though were you that open minded with Kobe Bryants case, the however many Boy Scout leaders and Catholic Priests accused of hanky panky in the past?? Maybe you have been consistent all the way, but you do appear rather unhinged over this one. Im not saying i believe this rule, but arent we supposed to believe the kids??

I hope you are right, but i think some shrinks have already said people that have been wronged sometimes suppress what happened to them. One way or another id like this little story gone by Sunday at the latest.

First of all...I am not a boy, so you can stop calling me sonny Fact: John Manoogian has been suspended and DCFS is conducting interviews with students and officials...

Secondly...My original question was simple...had anyone else heard about this? If you want to "go after someone" then feel free..but it will have to be the multiple students and alumni that are "making this up." as you seem to think. My only personal connection to this was my friend who had a similar experience as to the ones mentioned. Clearly it has struck a nerve with you. The investigation will tell us the truth.

Re: GC Teacher Touching Boys

You've been warned kid.

Wally, I'm aggravated every time someone is tried in the social media courtroom before any real evidence of findings are brought forth. Imagine if it was you. Maybe this kid should put himself in Manoogians shoes.

In this country we don't hang people without a trial. Shame on anyone who buys into this shit.

Re: GC Teacher Touching Boys

Yeah, that's what they said about the hag that tried to take down our most recent supreme court justice and as I recall, you were outraged about her.

If you are consistent, good for you. I am a firm believer of one being innocent until proven guilty, but i think more than one person has come forward with allegations. Im not necessarily buying into anything, but talking down to the young lady wont make her any more wrong or right. The betting odds on this should be about 50/50. DCFS getting involved to me however is a negative, not a positive. A more useless Government agency i have never seen.
Ive seen plenty of people tried and convicted on this very site with absolutely zero evidence of wrong doing.

She was a Democrat Party hack with a bad memory from 30 years back. The ones that came out from under every rock at the same time were did so of course by design. The idea was to take Trump down by death of a thousand cuts.
I suppose you can make that comparison if you wish, with this case, its a bit of a reach though. I will stick with what i said earlier, one way or another id like this whole episode over by Sunday. If hes guilty he needs to be gone. If his accusers are guilty of some sinister plot they need to be held accountable also. Maybe mommy and daddy can pay a nice fine. I 100% do have an opinion on this case, but i will keep it to myself for now.

Hands on shoulders is a bit weak, IF that is the extent of it. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeez.

Re: GC Teacher Touching Boys

Wally if these accusations ring true, I will apologize. If they are proved false, this person made a mistake and my original post stands. We can’t assassinate a persons character.

I do not think anyone should post the name of anyone who is accused of this type of behavior. EVER..As far as the teacher on suspension, proves nothing...I would think that would be the school policy, until after something of this nature is investigated...If the person is proved guilty and someone feels the need to post a name, that would be the time...

Actually, i think i would excuse hands on the shoulder, that seems pretty innocent.

Yes, by mentioning his name, the seed has been planted that there must be something to it. That'll be with him the rest of his life, even if he's proven completely innocent. "Remember when he was accused of touching boys?"

Lets see how it plays out before assigning innocence or guilt.

Its probably not the way id like the story to develop but i dont know what other sources are saying about this if anything. I dont want to downplay it, i just want it settled one way or another ASAP.

This is second hand, but i just heard the teacher got the ax. If that is the case, i hope he was guilty of being at least inappropriate. Guilty people do get a way with things, but that works the other way sometimes also.

He may have resigned but according to the school code, he has to be dismissed at a meeting of the board of education by a majority vote of the members. We shall see.

GCstudent94, i think you can relax, i dont think you are going to be getting owned. It probably would be a good idea in the future though not to name names, just to be safe, let someone else do it.

Did anybody hear an update on this situation? I am just curious at this point. Since the COVID-19 stuff happened around the same time, this seems to have been brushed over.

An accusation does not mean guilt, or its not supposed to anyway. Ive heard a few things, but who knows? Its a helluva thing to be accused of if the person is not guilty.
