"A petition to ban Palo Alto Councilwoman Julie Lythcott-Haims from schools is circulating after she attended an elementary school event, worrying some residents because of her past affair with a college student when she was a dean at Stanford. A former student revealed last year that she had an affair with Lythcott-Haims while she was dean at Stanford in 2011 and 2012."
"Lythcott-Haims visited Fairmeadow Elementary School's celebration honoring Ruby Bridges, a civil rights activist, on Nov. 14. Bridges was one of the six black children to attend an all white school in New Orleans in 1960. "She abused her authority at Stanford to groom and exploit a vulnerable young student half her age," wrote David Michael, who started the petition."
An online petition seeks to ban Palo Alto Councilwoman Julie Lythcott-Haims from district schools and events due to a revealed past affair with a Stanford student when she served as dean. A former student disclosed the relationship occurred in 2011 and 2012; Lythcott-Haims stepped down from her dean position at the time without explanation. The petition, initiated by David Michael, requests district-wide bans on contact with minors and apologies from school leaders. More than 100 people have signed the petition. School officials, including Superintendent Don Austin, called the petition ridiculous and denied involvement with the event.
