Greg Bailey, who has taught theater at Temecula Valley High for six years, has been out of the classroom since May over a parent's complaint about 'Angels in America' play-reading
The 1994 Rancho Buena Vista High School graduate spent his teen years performing youth theater with Fallbrook’s Premiere for Kids, worked both onstage as an actor and behind the scenes as a lighting technician at Vista’s Moonlight Amphitheatre and he ran Vista’s Arts Between the Tracks youth camp program for five years.
On May 16 at a Temecula Valley School District board meeting, parent Tracy Nolasco spoke in the public comments period about her 15-year-old daughter, who was a student in Bailey’s class, was disturbed by the sexual content in “Angels in America.” The following day Bailey was removed from the classroom and suspended.
Bailey’s students and supportive parents have rallied in his defense this summer, but the investigation into the incident has been slow. It’s possible Bailey’s status will be reviewed again at a school board meeting on Tuesday night. But Bailey believes it could be a long time before the situation is resolved.
“I do know that I haven’t done anything that is enough for a breach of our practices or contracts to get me fired. I haven’t broken any code,” he said, adding that he feels like he’s being used as a pawn in a larger battle.
