I have a dream some day the school officials who cover up such crimes will be prosecuted too. That honesty and integrity will become the watchword of the public school system. That the needs of the children will become more important than the needs of the educrats.
NAH!
I am not arguing that the guilty should bear responsibility BUT I am willing to bet that the teacher's union (NEA or AFT probably) had a lot to do with the retention and defense of remaining on the job. After all, there is a famous quote attributed to Albert Shanker, the late president of the AFT; "When school children start paying union dues, that 's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
The convicted child molester ended up molesting a boy, school found out, TRANSFERRED him to another school knowing what he did. While there he molested 2 more boys. He was finally convicted and I never received an apology from anyone in the district after I public ally told my story on numerous occasions. They do not care.
