  2. Readers, please note: The Parents' Coalition has done extensive coverage of the past charges involving this MCPS teacher. We posted detailed notes from the trial long before it was covered by the media. We stand squarely behind the brave children and women who have spoken up to report these crimes. We are horrified at the vast number of MCPS administrators who knew about allegations of abuse in this classroom and did nothing. We find it unconscionable that the Board of Education did not fire a teacher with a documented history of inappropriate physical contact with his students.

    You can skip posting your anonymous comments that downplay the seriousness of these crimes. They will not be posted here.

  3. We cannot overlook the fact that we live in the land of the movers, the shakers and the 'Swiss cheese' lawmakers.

    The persons of sound judgment
    And scarlet robed legal scholars
    Deliberate and discuss pedophilia
    Using our hard earned tax dollars.

  5. When can we class action sue MCPS for not firing convicter child abusers?

    1. A class action suit will add 'insult to injury' because we the taxpayers will be paying for the damages. Holding individuals liable would be more prudent.

    And it is indeed such a shame
    If it happens at a junior college
    The process of revealing a name
    Turns into a stiff legal challenge.
