Both women have been unable to find teaching jobs since being let go from their positions.

Wow!

Is it really that difficult to not have sex with kids?

The principal lifted the student's skirt, "exposing her bare buttocks and genital area to a school employee and another student," according to the complaint.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding why this is sexual abuse...

My first question is why is a seventh grader girl going "commando" to school wearing a skirt

My second question is if a school employee and an other student saw this event, and the principal was sexually abusing the girl, that's got to be the height of stupidity or arrogance

Seems to me a lot of pertinent facts from the story is missing...

oh...................kay..............

So the STUDENT came to school with no underwear on, a la Britanny Spears, and the principal showed the student’s shiney hiney, and the two “horrified” teachers turned the PRINCIPAL in to Child Service?

The STUDENT should have been sent home and told not to return unless she had underwear on. And maybe shorts on too.

I’m hoping the $15,000+ mentioned in the article is a typo...should be more like $1.5 million.

Even if the principal’s actions were an innocent mistake(!), the teachers should not have been fired for THEIR actions.

I'm certainly not defending anything Penn State did, but it is cases like the one in this article which convince people to keep their mouth shut or look the other way. You see abuse? You see harassment? If you say something, you may end up paying a heavy price.

This is especially true if you blow the whistle on a homosexual abuser. You wouldn't want to be branded an intolerant homophobe, would you??
