At the hearing for Amagansett School Principal Maria Dorr (which has two more dates in November), one name keeps coming up. That would be Michael Rodgers. This time, it was a picture on a phone, allegedly being shown to other school staff members. A seemingly created meme, with a trap, and an envelope.
Does anyone question how the school attorneys, who submitted new evidence and seemingly acknowledge the existence of this meme, got that? Why is it a different envelope? When was it created? Who gave it to them? Is it the original or doctored?
We now know, from the testimony of Charles Fithian, that he saw what he saw in regards to the color envelope in the picture. “It was red” — but how does he know what he saw? “I’m not colorblind.”
