I've been telling the FReeper community about this very thing happening to me, and many other colleagues, for some time now. It is a terrifying experience, to be a moral and upright professional being accused of saying or doing something you never did, and having the little liars completely believed and you not believed. I've had kids say to my face, "Shut up b---ch, or we gonna get you fired." The libtard administration of NYC (and apparently other cities), starting at the very top, handed this power over to a bunch of kids, able to ruin peoples' careers and lives at a whim. It's all a game to them. They have no appreciation for the profundity of the consequences they can cause, and I guarantee you if they DID know, they would probably laugh. This is the complete lack of empathy, the downright callousness of kids today, whose use of electronic means of communication deprives them of important social clues such as facial gestures or voice inflections.

They chose to party all night instead of studying for their algebra exam and predictably failed. Are they going to study harder for their next exam? No. They will file bogus statements against their teacher. Their teacher is properly strict and will not allow them to play with their cellphones all period, so that heaven forfend, they might learn something? They will compose statements while chomping down together on their cafeteria fare (likely paid for by you) that the teacher called them stupid, made a sexual innuendo, or something else guaranteed to make serious trouble for the teacher. Which never occurred except in the minds of these positively evil spawn. Giving them this power, which they horrifically abuse, is like handing the keys to a car to a 5 year old.

"Shut up b---ch, or we gonna get you fired."

A hidden surveillance camera on your person would have cleared things up in a jiffy. Looks like a button or ball point pen, records hours of sound/video on flash memory, and very affordable now.

This is going to continue until #1. Teachers refuse to join unions or school districts that perpetuate this vicious behavior, #2. Until private and charter schools who do see the damage begin to attract a lion’s share of good teacher’s.
#3. Until parents and students themselves bring this subject to the public forum. That will include parents of the good students suing or exposing the harassers. Their child is being cheated of a public education due to lazy, low wattage truants. If we even have Truant Officers anymore, maybe they will need to be named, shamed and dragged into the courtroom before a certain class of people begin taking school more seriously again. The 47% of the population aka; the blissfully ignorant dummies will need to be told by someone like Oprah, or a currently popular bimbo like Beyonce or their peers that lying about your teacher is no longer cool. In fact, you and your pals may get sued for slander, and put into an alternative school.
