The Epidemic of School Sex Abuse
Anecdotal evidence and statistical studies hint that sex abuse in American public schools is at epidemic proportions and that school districts regularly sweep the problem under the carpet - moving offending teachers on with glowing references just to transfer the trash. Cynics say the reason the problem doesn't surface in the press is because public schools are shielded by legislation that protects their assets from being seized in lawsuits. "Where there's no money," the argument goes, "there's no lawyer; and where there's no lawyer, there's no story."
