Eventually laws will be passed making it impossible to accuse a public school teacher of sexual misconduct, or any misconduct at all. At that point the public school systems will be “all cleaned up”.
Why isn’t there as much outcry about these cases as about priests who were abusers?
Oh, that’s right...because the school system promotes socialism and sodomy while the Church - no matter how many bad priests there were - still opposed abortion (the liberals’ sacrament) and homosexuality.
If you are a parent and you are not homeschooling your children, then you should be taken out back and shot.
The leadership class in this country actually favors the criminal element. The amazing part being we keep electing the same trash at all levels; federal, state and local.
Aren't male teachers allowed to victimize girls, too?
It doesn't sound as though that 1.6 million is PER family. Half a million bucks each (paid for by the insurance company, minus one third for the lawyer, and it's probably listed as emotional damages, which are taxed by the state) for a school district deliberately and wantonly endangering children by placing a predator in their midst?
This jury needs to be taken out and shot...
The most incredible statement in the article:
“Under state law, the district can fire teachers for conduct it deems immoral or unprofessional, even if the acts fall short of criminality. Rooney, for instance, allegedly showed up at the house of the first student at night and drove her around in his car.”
You have got to be kidding me! The guy shows up at the house at night wanting to drive your little girl around the neighborhood. AND THEY ALLOWED HER TO GO!!??? This is beyond belief.
In Philadelphia in the ninetys a teacher was observed and reported by a student smoking crakh at his desk between classes. There have been several homicides committed in schools by young hoodlums who had been transferred from one school to another. At each school they assaulted other kids and were passed along to another school. Then they killed someone and finally went into the criminal justice system.
Several years ago a teacher at a North Phladelphis High School was injured seriously by the same 16 y.o. who had assaulted him before. He was shown on video wearing the collar to immobilize his neck and with a seriously black eye. He informed the student who had attacked him and the school administrators that he would not allow this to happen to him again. He had reported the first assault and nothing was done.
The reporter asked whether he was saying that he would be armed in the future. He replied that what he was saying was that he would never let this happen to him again. Period!
Policy was that every assault in a school was to be reported by the principal of the school to a “czar” whose responsibiliy was to remove the violent offenders from the schools. The principals frequently withheld that information because they feared it might reflect badly on their record.
The bottom line is that the schools are a disgrace and reflect a society that is disgraceful. Lots of people who are teachers are unfit. They are incompetent and not bright. Unfortunately some of the brighter of them are brainwashed and designated as “change agents.” They spread the leftist poison. They help in the degeneration of this country. They may have destroyed it.
If government-school teachers were allowed to marry, this would never happen.
