In a nutshell, a group of boys caught a disabled girl in the school auditorium, and then stripped and gang-raped her. The school responded by refusing to punish the rapists and not bothering to tell the girl's parents that their daughter had been raped! Of course, the story got out anyway, and the school, the teacher's union and all the corrupt local politicians are in full CYA mode. They supposedly fired the principal (read, took him out of that school so he can be reassigned), suspeneded three other people (read, gave them ten days paid vacation each) and decided that they would take the bold step of showing the students a sexual harrassment video to make sure this never happens again.
Never any zero tolerance when you need it.
