Washington S.C. rules that unsubstantiated sex abuse allegations are secret
The Washington Supreme Court ruled that allegations of sex abuse by teachers are secret unless substantiated, according to a
story by The Seattle Times. In a 6-3 ruling, the court agreed with teacher unions in saying that privacy interests of teachers outweigh the danger of potential pedophiles in schools. Too bad, considering the Times found many teachers who abused or raped their students and nothing was done about it. Now those cases won't be known.
