This is a fascinating story. There are remarkable comments at linked sites from people who know Erickson and the teachers personally.

I have no idea how this will play out. Will enough parents keep their kids out of school to force the governor to intervene? Will parents be forced by the state to send their kids to be taught by the pedophile defenders? Will the teachers be fired, and sue the school district into bankruptcy?

They should have a recall election for that school board, the new board can fire the perv teachers

The parents who pulled their kids probably found some other way of educating them.

Thanks for the links.

It should be a slam dunk to recall that school board member. Hopefully the large number of parents that are outraged don’t give up on the teachers that not only supported this pervert but set a horrendously bad example for all the students in this district regarding the rule of law.

It blows my mind that they want leniency for this pedophile because “his” family is suffering. It would be nice to believe he’ll spend the full 30 years in prison but that probably won’t be the case.

If the Governor can legally get involved with this due to the loss of funding for this district he should do so, IMO. These teachers supporting this jerk should not be teaching anywhere.
