• Despite the teacher repeatedly stating to the security that ASOG🌸 was not the accused, the same teacher (from frustration of not finding who she was looking for) later changed up and accused ASOG🌸 of harassing and threatening her which prompted the enforcers (men) to immediately enforce the judgment of expulsion with no questions asked.
