I belong to the LGBT community and was being harassed at Noah's Ark because of this. At first I didn't have anything against the school, I knew that it was just me and the other parent not getting along. I talked to the principal and made a formal complaint against this teacher, the other parent. We agreed that it would be in everybody's best interest if the other parent was not present in the classroom when it was my time to pick up my daughter. However, later on in a court hearing, a letter that the principal had written stating "no incidents have been brought to my attention regarding poor exchanges" had been used against me. I quickly contacted the principal and reminded her that I had made a formal complaint not too long back. She had forgotten. I asked for a copy of the complaint I had made for evidence. She told me that the file was private and that I could not receive a copy. I tried diplomatically to resolve a serious problem at Noah's Ark and was told that we could make peace just to be back-stabbed later at a time when it mattered a great deal.
