The Education Department has been
receiving an alarming number of complaints from distraught guardians of
students against several prominent K12 schools. Most of these complaints claim
that the students had been punished because they reported incidences of sexual harassment on campus. For the most
part, the disciplinary action against the students is construed as a civil
rights violation by their parents, as reported by The Washington Post.
No Responsibility in America’s Schools
It is unfortunate that at a time when
the national debate on sexual harassment is trying to create awareness among
the young generation, some children continue to get punished for raising their
voice against the crime while Washington State sexual harassment lawyers remain
helpless in some cases. The problem arises when a victim reports the assault or
harassment to the politically correct school management who do not believe in
punishment.
The authorities in some cases tend to
ignore the assault angle and assume that the sex was consensual. Since sexual
activity in the premises is illegal the victim is punished for the act and
Washington sexual harassment lawyers and dumbfounded by this.
Increasing Reports of Sexual Violence have
Rattled the Education Department
Incidents of sexual violence have spiked
in colleges as well as in K12 schools. Unfortunately, the Education Department
has received various complaints that the schools have not been handling sexual
harassment cases properly. What do they expect? School districts across America
are defined by political correctness and by people who only care about their
retirement package.
Education Department Leadership needs to
be Replaced
Catherine Lhamon, the assistant
secretary for civil rights in the Education Department, said that she found it
retrograde how schools end up punishing the victims when the matter should have
been handled more delicately. Washington State sexual harassment attorneys are
appalled at this. She pointed out a case from 2010 where a 17 year old student
from Texas alleged that she had been raped by a fellow student in the band
room.
The Education Department has a boss
named President Obama. He is too busy ignoring Christian genocide in the Middle
East, defending people in America who do not share American values, raising
taxes, spending money America does not have, playing golf, and so on to do
anything about this. The problems of America will continue until America has a
President who cares and who is not politically correct.
American Schools Defined by Political
Correctness
The investigation conducted by the
police concluded that the girl participated in the sexual activity willingly
and the school authorities believing the police punished both the victim and
the assaulter by transferring them to the same school.
Lhamon said that the girl was forced to
share the premises with her assaulter and encountered him almost every day.
Lhamon’s office investigated the case and in 2012 found that the Henderson
Independent School District was guilty of violating the victim’s Title IX
rights. The school was made to sign a resolution agreement to ensure that it
will implement proper policies to address sexual harassment and assault. The
district expunged the girl’s discipline record.
Cari Simon, a Washington lawyer,
believes that the school district must have some type of amnesty programs which
can protect students who have reported incidents of harassment. Other people
believe that anyone who violently rapes someone else should be in prison for 20
years or more depending on the circumstances.
The Goodman Case
Dea Goodman’s daughter was expelled from
school after she reported an incident of sexual harassment as the school
authorities believed the attacker’s version of the events.
Goodman’s daughter was called to the
office of Cousino High where she was questioned about a rumor that she was
found having sex in the parking lot of the school in May 2015. She claimed the
boy had forced her to have sex with him in the car and she was coaxed to oblige
him as he had locked the doors of the vehicle.
The boy on the contrary claimed that the
sex was consensual and they had planned it together. The police also found a
sex video clip in the boy’s phone. The girl was expelled as the boy’s version
was taken as the truth. Perhaps it was.
Sexual
harassment in schools is a regular occurrence and since statistics show
that schools often punish victims, it would be prudent to consult a Washington State
sexual harassment lawyer (sexual-harassment-lawyers.usattorneys.com/washington)
should you or anyone you know happen to be a victim of sexual harassment. This
will help hold the school responsible and prevent them from pinning the blame
on the victim – you!
That website is the keys to heaven. If
you have been a victim of immaturity, ignorance, jealousy, pride, which is a
composite mix of what sexual harassment is, you can use that website to find
the legal help you need to make this situation right.
