    1. Billy Violent’s psychosis is leadering her to believe she’s a man, but she’s still a she. That’s how science works. Her chromosomes remain unchanged at XX.

    2. They are divorced and he is remarried.
      The shitshow is that this person wrote an article that gave the impression that this was more than it was.
      No accountability in journalism anymore

    1. He’s not a dirtbag. He’s not useless. As someone who had direct contact with him within the school he was kind and cared about his students. I’ve never had a teacher who made me feel more safe and comfortable to be myself in a classroom then Mr.cabal. Please be respectful especially since we still have no idea why he left.

  1. Shut KUSD down. Seriously, start at the top – fire everyone and start over. Indian Trail specifically seems to have major problems with who they employ. This is sick.

      1. No foresight needed when they’re complicit and enabling, but when one is receiving the paycheck they are weekly, then one doesn’t really care what’s happening, as long as that check keeps on a coming…. 👀

  2. And kusd is asking for millions of dollars to raise our property taxes in average $600 a year. Everyone needs to vote no in November to this! Fuck KUSD

    1. Dr. Weiss will use the recent Madison school shooting as a reason to siphon more money from the community (never let a crisis go to waste). What’s even more important then voting “no” for the KUSD money grab, is letting Weiss know that he needs to go!! The culture won’t change until him and the rest of the enablers are gone!

      1. If you plucked a random name from the phone book ( I know , there are no phone books anymore) they would be better than Weiss.

  3. CLOSE THIS SCHOOL DOWN !!! GET IT UNDER CONTROL !!!

    CLOSE IT LOCK THE DOORS DO SOMETHING THIS HAS GONE TO FAR
    EVERY SINGLE WEEK THERE IS ANOTHER TEACHER OR EMPLOYEE OF THIS SCHOOL DOING SOMETHING .

  4. Billy Violet is the scum of the earth! She just decided to pop in and comment on my comments of mutual friends, knowing I can’t stand her! And I was wondering why she has made a reemergence! Now I know why! She needs some coverage please don’t give it to It/That, They/Who… let dead snakes lie where they are. To bad Odin seemed like an alright guy, but staying married to that for as long as he did, I can understand a perversion developing in him🤷🏾‍♀️

    1. But let Bully Violent tell it, they are a Black Woman, but was claiming to be a Native American to implement the Native American movement some years ago. I think they are just confused on every aspect of life. Just want to be seen. I say 🤡 fits the description.

      1. He didn’t sexually assault a minor. There’s no proof of that, the person who put that in this article added it to simply make him look worse. If you reread you will see that portion has been taken down.

  6. Has Mary Beier at Juvenile court decided if they’re charging the Indian Trail student as an adult yet? WI had another school shooting today Mary…. Let’s keep our kids safe please. Lt Hecker? Is KPD requesting adult charges??

        1. Mr cabal is a great teacher that is caring and kind his passion for helping his students be creative and supporting their visions is amazing he is a great teacher and doesn’t deserve these false accusations.

        2. Juvenile intake will send the file over but the actual charging decision is the DA’s call, including whether to seek waiver to adult court. There’s also a way to override an intake decision not to send a file over (unlikely here).

          1. So- is the DAs office “seeking” or requesting adult charges be filed on the kid at school with a gun? If not, who is the public employee refusing to do so? Seemed to happen quickly in every other instance in Kenosha. Why not this gun and threat?

          2. This should be Solis’ first act then, to keep our kids safe from armed gunmen found inside our high school. Unless he doesn’t care.

  7. Whitney is scum she’s an abuser herself he beats on men she would have previously sexually relationships with. That’s karma sweetie!! You should have been locked up a long time ago!

  8. this is horrible i don’t believe this not my bro cabal idk guys personally me i always believed someone’s innocent until proven guilty with EVIDENCE!! so nah he didn’t do crap

  9. What is going on in our schools? This needs to stop. The school board needs to make the changes. The people need to vote out these school board members that allow this to continue. It will continue just look at last Thursday vote. To let boys in girl’s bathrooms and sport teams. Wake up voters of KSUD you can stop this madness.

  10. When is the Next school Board meeting, we all need to be there demanding that the doors of Indian trail get locked and close down until they can hire the correct staff to work with are children,
    This so insane and there is no reason that this school should continue to operate under these issues

    Hire a firm to look into every current and future teacher we have at the kusd
    there are investigation firms that do this,

    1. Mr Cabal didn’t do anything. There are no charges, there was no assault and no gun. He is divorced and remarried.
      The way this was reported was irresponsible journalism.

  12. This school is not real. How is it that in the last 4 years, you guys hired pedos, and then fired a teacher because of phones? then bringing his personal business onto the internet with no actual evidence of mr cabal doing anything just the fact that he is searching for another career path. There is a whole rule about how we arent allowed to have phones in school and if we are on them we get sent to OSM to turn our phones in for the day, what if something happens and one of us can’t get ahold of our parents because you guys are more worried about phones then the actual deal. maybe the Indian trial needs to get their priorities straight, you guys are more worried about the wrong things. i mean this school obviously doesn’t care about anything besides trying to make the school look good, and where has that gotten indain trail? now everything once in the dark will come to light, and the school is just diggin’ themselves a deeper hole.

    17
  13. What does the ex wife have to do with any of this? Sounds like you’re just digging into his personal life in order to get clicks. Maybe find something better to do with your time then create an over fabricated story you know absolutely nothing about.

  14. THIS MAN WENT TO MY SCHOOL! He was my art teacher and was pretty chill. Besides having is fingernails painted and the way he looked at kids I didn’t see anything wrong. But after hearing this I’m terrified like actually about to crap myself terrified. Also I feel bad for his Ex wife it’s a shame people do that type of stuff but at the end of the day it’s night
