Oregon government schools hide abusive teachers’ crimes from public

From Neal Boortz:

How long should it take a principal to fire a teacher who touches students inappropriately? About three seconds: “You are fired.” But in Oregon it takes months for the agency that licenses Oregon teachers to discipline teachers. Not even fire them. But just discipline them.

Or there is another option: cut the teachers a deal. To get a low-life middle school government teacher, Kenneth John Cushing, to leave immediately … the administration had to cut him a deal. What did this creep do? They called it “inappropriate touching.” In other words, he fondled about eight little girls. Government officials agreed that if Cushing resigned, that they would conceal his misconduct from the public. So if a potential employer called the school looking for a reference, the school would simply say that he left for personal reasons. They would lie about this creep’s actions. And some teachers got away with more … promised cash settlements, health insurance and letters of recommendation.

Over the past five years, almost half of Oregon teachers that were disciplined for sexual misconduct left the school district with these “confidential agreements.” The practice of giving these creeps confidentiality is so widespread that government school officials across the country call it “passing the trash.”

There couldn’t be a better phrase. 

Another harmful side effect that government schools have inflicted on society.
