Legislation Proposals Seek To Better Protect Students From Sexual Misconduct

Make the penalty apply to the accuser, anyone falsely accusing someone gets the same sentence as the person accused would get. If it%u2019s not worth the risk of accusing, don%u2019t accuse or prosecute.

I am all for protecting the kids, I have two still in school and anyone touching them would have more than the prosecutor to deal with. My fears with this new, round them all up and shoot them. attitude is the teacher that is disliked by a resourceful and revengeful student. In my daughters class a fellow classmate had a beef with the teacher. This teacher was liked by administration and all the students, he was successful, likeable and approachable, the perfect teacher. When this disgruntled student claimed he touched her inappropriately, he was suspended for over a month, the administration turned their backs on him, and the teachers union turned their backs on him. It cost him financially to defend the false accusations, his wife left him and he couldn''t see his 3 kids. When it was found the girl lied the teacher was told he could come back but the student that made the claim would still be in his class. He decided to stop teaching because the risk of losing his freedom because of another pissed off student in the future was not worth it. This happens all the time even with kids falsely accusing parents because they aren%u2019t happy with rules. I think there should be statue of limitations. How reasonable is it for a teacher to defend himself or herself 10-15 years down the road? The student can make up anything they want with no proof and the teacher is screwed. Just another way for someone to make money on a civil suite $$$

Boy this sure sounds like a familiar crime ...

Reminds of the Catholic Church and how they hid all the pedophilia priests committed ... now we have the NEA and the Teaching elite trying to circumvent laws and keep these so called teachers from being exposed ...

What a sad course we have taken in this country ..

You gotta love the NEA and ACLU !!!

NOT!!!

Hog tie them to a telephone pole naked and give them a public flogging. Then let us all spit on them for a week. That should do it. They don''''t need courts or jail.

They need both, public educators are the worst type of government tyrants. They also have a union that protects their crimes.

"I am nonetheless outraged by any incident in which an adult entrusted with the care of one of South Carolina''s students violates that student. The ramifications for that student, his or her family, and the community as a whole are painful and long lasting," he wrote.
