How does he pass a child safety background check? Why bother with them if they are going to let known pedophiles teach?
To: Jyotishi
This is nuts. No tenure agreement would protect him from this. Something else is going on.

Cinnaminson school officials argued parental and societal views have changed
As much of a scumbag as this guy is, no court in the land is going to allow that as a standard for terminating employment. Should have canned him the first time.
To: Jyotishi
I wish they had taken this attitude with Kavanaugh. ;)
But no. It is not reasonable to fire someone for this. It’s like firing someone who was in prison and, when asked, said they had been in prison.
Now, if they asked him about this in the job interview or application and he said no or did not mention it, then they could fire him. But it seems that is not what happened.
To: Clean_Sweep
My question as well. Perhaps because he was never officially prosecuted for the crime? So nothing ever would show on a background check of him?
To: Clean_Sweep

Probably because his Catholic Diocese never reported it to law enforcement. Background checks only reflect things they know about.

On the far away island of Salamasond, Yertle the Turtle was king of the pond.
For some reason, my mind went to Dr Suess.

Must be a union thing. At the school I taught at he would have been gone the 1st time it came up, the 2nd if necessary.
Unless he was an administrator, different rules for them it seems.

There have been cases in New York State of union school teschers being arrested, tried, and convicted, while continuing to draw full salary and benefits until the day they had exhausted their final appeals.
To: Jyotishi
We had a case very similar to this when I was chair of the SB. We fired him anyway and took our chances legally. We gambled he wouldn’t sue and have his history drawn out.

Can’t fire him? Just tell the school he voted for Trump and Kate Smith is his favorite singer...Problem solved.

I had to endure a “conservative” theologian in 1984 at a Bible Conference extolling day care centers over home environments, because, he contended, most abusers are close relatives.
So much for parental authority and God’s design.

I’m gonna give him a pass - a (apparently) single incidence of consensual sex with a 16 year old 30 years ago and nothing else on his record.....how many of us would be unemployable if everything we ever did was held against us ...
