I guess it’s time for Chance to be the only adult in the room and kill the story by forgiving Mr. Ballard. In any case it is not clear what the actual story is: A school board member illegally accessed the records of an (unnamed) student and tried and failed to publicize them at the expense of said student? But we are now publicizing this anyway (at the expense of the unnamed, but easily ID’d student)? In journalism school they teach you not to be the story, but maybe it is different now.
