Teacher found to be fondling little girls still collecting full pay.

thats all good only if we castrate him first.

Would you actually want to do that to someone?

No I wouldn't, I would contract it out.

Ah I see - you don't want to do your own dirty work.

The school board is doing the right thing, even if it is a tough call. On one hand, you have to remove him immediately from the classroom and place him on leave; but "innocent until proven guilty" also means he cannot be deprived of his salary until verdict. Tough #######.

Since the initial investigation has determined him to have broken school policy (and the law) why would he still be collecting pay until the last note is sung?

And why is it only in gov't employment would one find such silly protection?

If I worked at say a toy store and was found to be fondling children.... how long would it take for me to be "without pay"?

I can understand a final hearing to determine his employment status but it is common, even in many parts of Gov't to be suspended without pay.

Hey, I am not saying I agree with the whole thing... I would hang him by the nabs. Welcome to unionized work. It is lovely.

Because the investigation unit has to make the recommendation that the man be terminated. They have no power to fire him.

No I just dont want to touch another mans balls, other than that I don't mind doing the dirty work. I have a can of gasoline in my hand as we speak.

I would not favor castration in this case, from what I can tell this was not rape... if it were, yes, that might be an option.

I would not volunteer for the job..... unless I knew the victim.

know what your problem is Pike, you live in your cozy, plastic-covered world where you never once... even lopped off a chickens head, you pay others to do it.

So for you, nipping off some Child-rapists pecker is "barbaric".

No, what THESE people do is Barbaric, and your motherly protection of them is pathetic.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

I don't see how Pike was 'protecting' the dude on this one. Maybe I missed something.

There is deep wisdom in your post.

I haven't actually said one thing about what the guy did, so where does this idea come from that I'm someone "protecting" them?

Apparently if you don't have a angry kneejerk response to stories like this, then you can't have an opinion.

If you want to live in a society where the justice system changes sentences to pander to public outcry, and where amputations, mutilation and torture and execution are deemed appropriate sentences - might I suggest that the US probably isn't the country for you; and that you'd do well to move to somewhere like Saudi Arabia.

What really amazes me about you, Danno is that you don't appear to have any fundamental ethical values. You don't seem to believe in the ethics of a society and that these things are values that should be sacrosanct - not prostituted for the highest bidder, or by emotional outburst.

Presumably it hasn't occurred to you that this is what separates the modern world from the medieval.

Danno, if some woman at your work accuses you of sexually assaulting her even though you maintain your innocence and have not even been criminally charged, will you accept your boss to suspend you without pay until you can prove your innocence?

Not so much that. Danno just wants his daily dose of pitchforking.

The premise is innocent until proven guilty on this specific case. That's the only legal consideration that makes any sense.

Sure he probably deserves to get locked in a room with someone more deviant than he may be- but when those 'probably/ may be' parts of speech become 'definitely/ is' then we can talk about throwing him to the lions. Until then we can continue irrationally hanging him before he's proven guilty.

That's how modern law-bound society works.
