Sexual Harrassment?
| 
Oct 17 22:09 UTC 2003 |
Recently a new student at my school pressed sexual harassment charges
againts one of my teachers. The teacher in question, tries to act like
a parent like figure. (pats you on the back, rubs your shoulder
maybe). This teacher was a girls softball coach, as was forced to
resign immediately. 2 weeks later, students have found out that he was
forced to resign. One student, the daughter of the President of the
Schoolboard satrted a petition to keep the teacher here. within 2
hours, 157 out of 248 students in my school has signed the petition.
Today is suppose to be his last day of school. One of the problems
with this, is, that he was the advanced math teacher. There will be
no one to replace him for many weeks, and no substitutes can teach it.
This teacher is a valuable asset to the school. he has been teaching
there for the past 27 years, and is the best teacher there (in many
peoples opinions). So, this one girl who just moved here, made a
simple sexual harassment charge, and the teacher is gone? Just the
accusation caused this. another thing is that, they may possibly make
the math teachers wife resign also, which she is a 2rd grade teacher.
So, if i didnt like one of my teachers, i could make an accusation and
probably have them gone, it looks like.

Get some of those bad ass black girls to deal with her.
She'll fess up in no time. I'm sure she won't win any popularity contests at
your school anyway.

The accuser is no longer going to our school, she was there for a short
time, then left.
the resignation is not final. no one(public) has officially been told.

This accusation went throguh the school system, so nothing is made
public.

Who does this guy think he is? Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Yes, when such a charge is made, the teacher is removed from contact with
students while an investigation is in process. Gotta be done that way.
Got a better suggestion? The petition was a nice thing to do though. But
it can't reasonably be granted until a "full investigation" has been
completed.

Its called "Zero Tolerance" and its nice to see it applied to both
students and teachers in a "non-discriminatory" fashion. Its a nice
policy for insurance companies as it allows them to collect smaller
amounts of money from greater numbers of schools to bump up revenue to
pay the revenue based bonus of their upper management types. It allows
school management types to not actually have to do much more than apply
such simple zero tolerance policies to any situation without having to
expend any effort into actually figuring out what is going on. No need
for such outmoded notions such as "common sense" and "judgement".
(Legal disclaimer: I haven't a clue about the actual specifics of the
events noted above. I have no Insurance and have taken great pains to
make sure that I have little or no assets in my name legally so if you
wanna sue me, good luck on getting anything out of it except legal bills
owed to your lawyer.)
This is the bed you liberals made, so enjoy sleeping in it.
