Grants Pass High School Coach Accused of Retaliatory Bullying and Public Humiliation in Student’s Damning Complaint

Grants Pass, Oregon – A Grants Pass High School student has filed a hard-hitting formal complaint against Teacher and Coach Matthew Kennedy, exposing what appears to be a disturbing pattern of harassment, retaliation, and clear abuse of authority. This escalating situation has the student feeling increasingly vulnerable and unsafe, sparking urgent questions about accountability in Oregon schools.
The trouble began after the student left the football team on September 12, 2025. In response, Kennedy allegedly attempted to bar the student from participating in all other sports—a move that was not based on any official rule or regulation but appeared to be a personal enforcement tactic. The student challenged this unauthorized punishment by bringing it to Athletic Director Robert Lingo, who sided with the student and allowed participation in other sports, such as wrestling.
On September 22, 2025, around 5:15 PM, Kennedy allegedly confronted the student in a hallway near the mat room, insisting they remove clothing with football team markings—solely because the student was no longer on the team. The student, who was at wrestling practice and had their back turned at a water fountain, described the incident as an unprovoked and intimidating overreach.
Athletic Director Robert Lingo revealed that Kennedy characterized the demand as “deeply personal,” admitted it was wrong, but claimed he “couldn’t help himself.” Yet, the alleged misconduct didn’t end there. In a stunning third incident, after discovering he’d been reported again, Kennedy entered the student’s classroom—despite having no reason to be there—and recounted the story aloud to the teacher, speaking loudly enough for the whole class to overhear, inflicting further embarrassment.
The student views these actions as targeted vengeance, possibly driven by Kennedy’s frustration from the failed attempt to impose unauthorized consequences. As a first-year head coach displaying such concerning behavior, this raises serious alarms: What other students might have faced similar treatment without speaking out? Is the district equipped to handle such lapses in oversight?
The complaint pulls no punches, citing blatant violations:
- Oregon educator standards on individual dignity and equitable treatment (OAR 584-020-0010).
- Requirements for respectful human relations and communication (OAR 584-020-0030).
- Ethical breaches meriting TSPC investigation (relevant OAR ethics provisions).
- Grounds for disciplinary action over misconduct (OAR 584-020-0040).
- Grants Pass School District staff handbook calls for professional, caring interactions and civil rights adherence (Title VI, Title IX, ADA, Section 504).
- High school handbook demands for fair and consistent rule enforcement.
- District anti-discrimination policies (Board Policy KL and KL-AR), potentially labeling this as status-based harassment.
The student is calling for immediate action: Confirmation of the complaint, release of hallway camera footage (outside the mat room doors, opposite the locker room), and a prompt in-person meeting with administrators to confront the rising tension and demand resolution. This isn’t just an isolated grievance—it’s a spotlight on the risks of unchecked power in school athletics.
This case demands answers: When will the district step in to protect students and restore trust? It’s a story that could ignite broader scrutiny of educator conduct across the state.

About the Complaint: Lodged through official district channels, it pushes for swift intervention to end the cycle and uphold integrity in public education.

Silent Power: A Blueprint for Global Influence Without Exposure
New framework helps leaders, investors, and diplomats protect influence in an age of surveillance.
Geneva, Switzerland, 7th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In 2025, visibility has become a liability. Silent Power: The Discreet Formula for Global Influence and Control delivers a pragmatic answer for executives, investors, and policymakers who must exercise authority without becoming public targets.
Unlike motivational literature or abstract theory, Silent Power translates the mechanics of discretion into actionable systems. It guides readers through the structural, legal, and digital adjustments that separate enduring power from fragile exposure.
A Manual for Influence That Survives Scrutiny
The book introduces a step-by-step approach to maintaining leverage while operating across multiple jurisdictions. Readers learn how to design frameworks that remain stable under audit, investigation, or reputational pressure—turning discretion into a measurable skill.
Topics include:
-
Influence vs Visibility: Why public attention erodes authority and how to remain effective behind the scenes.
-
Digital Footprint Reduction: Practical ways to minimize traceability through lawful structuring of data, payments, and registries.
-
Compartmentalization of Roles and Assets: Building independent units that prevent cascading failures.
-
Reputation Engineering: How to decide what to publish, what to silence, and how to neutralize hostile narratives.
-
Continuity and Crisis Control: Protocols for maintaining command when key decision-makers are unavailable.
Relevance
From boardrooms to diplomatic missions, leaders face an environment where every transaction and statement is recorded. Silent Power reframes this reality: rather than retreating from exposure, readers learn to architect their operations so that scrutiny no longer equals vulnerability.
The result is a clear advantage for anyone managing capital, reputation, or policy under public or regulatory observation. The manual’s central insight is simple yet radical—power that operates quietly endures longer than power that must explain itself.
Availability
Silent Power: The Discreet Formula for Global Influence and Control is available worldwide in digital and print formats:

Carrying Change Since 2006: Green Bags UAE Leads the Plastic-Free Revolution!
.
Dubai, UAE, 7th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Green Bags UAE was established in 2006, becoming the first company in the entire GCC to promote eco-friendly bags and sustainable packaging solutions.
Our mission began with simple idea- to find a sustainable solution to one of the world’s biggest problems: global warming and waste management. Plastic bags are a major cause of this crisis.
Did you know a single plastic bag can take 500 to 1,000 years to decompose? I thought—why not spread this awareness across the UAE and the Middle East?
We launched a website to educate the public and urge people to stop using plastic carry bags, especially single-use plastics. Repeated use of plastic not only harms our environment and nature but is also a leading cause of deaths among animals, marine life, and even dangerous to human health. Studies reveal that the average person consumes more than 5 grams of plastic every week through food and water. This is why we called on everyone to join the Plastic-Free Awareness Campaign.
In the beginning people were slow to respond until 2010, we stayed committed. We even imported a full container of jute bags from India and Bangladesh ,where such fabrics were mainly available —so customers could readily purchase alternatives. After waiting for nearly five years, we received our first major orders from Emirates Airlines and ADNOC convenience stores. That was the turning point.
Today, Green Bags UAE has grown to become a well-known brand. Our products are available in more than 1,000 retail outlets, and we have proudly served over 4,000 customers across the UAE and GCC, including small and medium enterprises as well as leading corporates. In 2022, we expanded operations to Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in 2024 we entered Riyadh as well.
Our mission is to promote reusable culture by offering sustainable products made from jute, cotton, juco, and canvas fabrics. Using just one reusable cotton bag or canvas bag can replace more than 3,000 single-use plastic bags. This is not only an environmental responsibility but a social commitment. The Earth belongs to the next generation too, and it is our duty to teach our children to follow the reduce, reuse, recycle lifestyle. If we ignore this, studies warn that within the next 100 years our planet could face irreversible damage due to global warming, pollution, and flooding -already affecting both marine life and human life. A reusable bag or canvas bags weighs less than a mobile phone, yet it carries a huge impact for our planet.
But these tote canvas bags or jute bags are not only an eco friendly bag choice; they are also powerful tools for branding and advertisement. Business owners can print their brand identity on these canvas bags and circulate them within their communities, spreading both their message ,awareness and corporate gifting has always played an important role in building relationships, showing appreciation, and increasing brand visibility . Green bags UAE introduce practical, reusable, eco- friendly, customized promotional gift items instead of plastic or disposable giveaways. Our customized eco friendly bags make lasting impact.
So let us all commit to this change—say no to plastics, carry reusable eco friendly bags daily, and build a healthier, cleaner world for ourselves and future generations.
