Perusing the Bad Bad Teacher website, I was shocked to learn that, between May 2007 and July 2008, approximately 44 teachers from North Carolina were arrested for inappropriate sexual conduct with school children. That puts North Carolina in the top 10, according to website statistics.
California (111)
Texas (98)
Florida (80)
New York (71)
Ohio (56)
New Jersey (49)
Illinois (48)
North Carolina (44)
Virginia (39)
Colorado (32)
The General Assembly, Department of Public Instruction, and State Board of Education have done nothing to address this serious problem. I suppose they believe that protecting children from sexual predators is just not important, even though the rest of us recognize it as one of their basic responsibilities.
