Why is the school paying out instead of the guy who commited the act????
Because as a parent, when I send my daughter to school I expect the school department to act in place of the parent.
If the school was not complicit in the sexual relationship (knowing about it and not reporting it) the settlement would not have been as high.
They knew about the relationship and did not report it. They should all be sued individually as well. Then they should be boiled alive. They are supposed to protect our children, not screw them and cover it up.
This is one case where the amount could not be high enough.
I’d like to see a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit against the NEA for all these predatory teachers. To my knowledge the NEA does not have a program or a screening process for their membership when it comes to things like this. They are obviously culpable because the majority of these teachers are NEA members. Any lawyers out there listening?
