POLICE REPORT: Waco Baptist Academy moves on after ex-teacher charged with child indecency

"Moving on" is one of those loathsome phrases that suggests that the past is better left behind. It usually refers to a history that the guilty like to toss overboard, which is how in a therapeutic society the phrase got some backing in the first place.

The school isn't "moving on." They are getting on with the business of --being a school. In the therapeutic model, however, the students would be inundated with counselors eager to assuage their anger or disbelief. Heck, even the teachers might be offered counseling. Certainly there would be a post-traumatic group hug and a songfest to commemorate how they feel, or felt, before the group hug and therapy session.
