Purpose

Most teachers are professionals who cherish their vocation and their students. They serve tirelessly to promote learning because they are professionals. They do not abuse the trust of parents, or students, or society.

The purpose of this site is to gather news stories about teachers, educational reform and education issues. There are a distressing number of problems in our education system in every state.

Please note that those accused does not presume that any individual is guilty, but are included purely on the basis of news stories. If you have additional information or an update that was missed or a suggestion, please contact me. email mediaskeptic@hotmail.com

An arrest or indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent, unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.

If you have a correction, an update, or a news item we might have missed, email us at mediaskeptic@hotmail.com

It takes extraordinary courage for victims to come forward to confront those who have abused them, especially in light of the criticism of their peers and -- often parents -- who, with little knowledge of the facts, defend the indefensible. Even after conviction.
