WHERE IS THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AND SPECIAL REPORTS BY THE MEDIA INTO THIS WIDESPREAD ABUSE?
How widespread is sexual abuse of students by teachers?
Since 2016, this reporter has logged some 265 arrests of North Carolina educators and staff members. A recent FOX News report said it had found 181 arrests of teachers accused of sex crimes with students just in the first half of 2022.
A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice and published in 2017 that drew from a former USDOE report found that an estimated 10% of K–12 students will experience sexual misconduct by a school employee by the time they graduate from high school and that a single offender can have up to 73 victims.
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ARE NOT REPORTING THE ASSAULTS LEADING TO THOSE PREDATORS TO JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT.
More to the Story: The USDOE Report
The USDOE’s “Aiding and Abetting” report looks at how provisions enacted in 2015 during the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) are protecting students from sexual abuse in schools. Specifically, a look at the provisions in Section 8546 related to “aiding and abetting,” have been implemented in State Education Agencies (SEAs).
The report follows the actions earlier this year of U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA). The lawmakers sent a letter to USDOE Secretary Miguel Cardona asking him to provide answers regarding states’ failure to comply with Section 8546 of ESEA.
