In the past year, 5.7 million students have faced sexual abuse from school employees across all 50 states in America. But how and why does this problem persist? Educational researcher Charol Shakeshaft explores the atrocities of school employee sexual misconduct through powerful stories and offers potential solutions to this unsettling situation.
Charol Shakeshaft has been studying equity and justice in schools for four decades. Charol is an acclaimed author, receiving national and state awards. She was just awarded a grant from the Centers for Disease Control to study the prevention of school employee sexual misconduct.
In 2004, Dr. Shakeshaft completed a report mandated by the U.S. Senate that presented on the prevalence of educator sexual misconduct as well as recommendations to the Senate and House of Representatives for federal, state, and local prevention initiatives.
Dr. Shakeshaft serves as an expert witness in both criminal and civil cases on the sexual abuse of children in youth organizations and schools. She was elected an AERA fellow in 2015 and received the 2015 AERA Distinguished Contributions to Gender Equity in Education Research Award and the 2020 Outstanding Research Award. Charol currently teaches graduate courses in the Department of Educational Leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Thanks for the info!
An important heads-up to all parents and grandparents.
Be extra vigilant!
