In the first two cases, the problem is that they can’t fire a tenured teacher unless the teacher is found guilty in the court system. So they keep them on, out of the classroom.

Is that stupid? Yes, I think that they should be able to break tenure under some of the circumstances. But they didn’t cover up, and they didn’t hide the teachers from the law. Apparently, in the first case, the courts couldn’t nail him.

Is it remotely equivalent to the kind of malfeasance repeatedly committed by the Catholic Church? That’s ridiculous. They’re not protecting their teachers from being punished by the law. They’re not covering up criminal actions.

As for the third website, uh, they seem to have a teeny weeny agenda there.
