The state bill that died earlier this year would have required schools to inquire with past employers to see if applicants were previously found responsible for an act of child abuse or sexual misconduct with a pupil. Schools would have been required to disclose substantiated sexual misconduct findings directly to other schools.
The legislation would have also banned language preventing disclosure of child abuse or sexual misconduct with a child in union contracts, as well as termination or severance deals with employees.
Miller’s group, SESAME, helped write the bill. She calls “passing the trash” “deliberate child endangerment. … One predator can have as many as 73 victims in lifetime.”
The California Teachers Association, the American Civil Liberties Union and others opposed the bill, citing due process concerns for employees.
“...language preventing disclosure of child abuse or sexual misconduct with a child in union contracts.”
Because it’s none of those darned parents’ business! It’s not just stupid. It’s not just crazy. It’s demonic.
