Popular Post MikeD Posted July 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 7 hours ago, Rich Cline said: IMO the "Jury is Still Out" on this one. I have researched the alleged post by Kathy Ho (Drum Major) on Reddit, videos on Innovative Percussion regarding Ike Johnson as well as his history and starting as a performer in the Blue Devils leading to his position as a percussion instructor for many various organizations. I do not condone mis-behavior by any educator/instructor, and I would expect and demand any instructor who works with younger age students to conduct themselves as a "Professional" at all times. It seems that at times, Ike Johnson may have over-stepped this line. It's a human condition of trying to be better than you were yesterday - and teaching that to others in a positive way is a developed skill. As an educator or instructor it's imperative to do this with skill and finesse which is the mark of highly demanded teacher/instructor. When Ike Jackson himself is captured on a video making wildly inappropriate comments to HS students, then IMO the jury is not still out. The one video alone should have resulted in him being released from Ayala at least. As for the Mandarins, if their admin sees that video, plus the weight of the other reported commentary, then hopefully they do the right thing. 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a private matter for the organization to handle and its impossible to know whether any of this is accurate. I totally disagree with your post. The main complaint was made publicly AFTER the Mandarins ignored it. There are other complaints made public. Who are you to ask moderators to remove? If I make my complaint public here will you also ask for my statement to be removed? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not allowed to share things that have happened to us unless it is posted on other social media? Or do we have to first formal complaint to the organization? Then come back post here?

Things get flaky in the web with FB (and other SM sites?) privacy settings and “I saw this on the internet so must be true”.... Really confused by what is considered unpublished (on the web?) but is possible to be posted on DCP?

I was not aware she made the complaint publicly (as opposed to just the Mandarins) so maybe he was not either. In any case, I was not aware that you had to be somebody special to ask the mods a question or to make a request. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
