George Washington High School Principal George Aulenbacher
Hosted an assembly funded by a conservative religious organization called “Believe in West Virginia” and advertised with fliers that proclaimed “God’s plan for sexual purity.”
When a student complained that this was “slut-shaming” and spoke to the press about her objections to the assembly, Aulenbacher threatened to call Wellesley College, where the student has been accepted to study in the fall.
According to the student, Aulenbacher said, “How would you feel if I called your college and told them what bad character you have and what a backstabber you are?” She alleges that Aulenbacher continued to berate her in his office, eventually driving her to tears. “He threatened me and my future in order to put forth his own personal agenda and make teachers and students feel they cant speak up because of fear of retaliation.”

NH State Rep. Peter Hansen
Referred to women as “vaginas” in an email to colleagues sent on the legislature’s official internal listserv. In response to a message debating a “stand your ground” measure being considered by the State House, the Republican lawmaker wrote:
“What could possibly be missing from those factual tales of successful retreat in VT, Germany, and the bowels of Amsterdam? Why children and vagina’s of course. While the tales relate the actions of a solitary male the outcome cannot relate to similar situations where children and women and mothers are the potential victims.”(link)
