Two California school districts, suspected of protecting sexual predators and allowing them to teach, received letters from the Trump Department of Education on Friday in a national crackdown on schools sweeping sexual abuse allegations under the rug. The letters were sent to the Tulare City Unified School District and Wilsona School District.The New York Post reports that Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent letters to school districts across the country, reminding them that federal law requires them to investigate allegations and prevent teachers accused of abuse from quietly moving to another school.The Los Angeles Unified School District was already under scrutiny for reassigning teachers to different schools under an agreement with the teachers’ union.This comes as the Education Department plans to launch a new initiative with 20 civil rights investigations into school districts that failed in their duty to address sexual misconduct by school employees, according to the Post.California is believed to be one of the biggest offenders, with at least three school districts at risk of losing $50 million in federal funding.Per the New York Post:Tulare City Unified School District and Wilsona School District, located in Palmdale, were two of the districts warned under federal law to promptly investigate allegations of sexual abuse and harassment and block suspected predators from quietly moving to other schools — a practice known as “passing the trash.”“Our schools must protect America’s children. Parents should never have to wonder whether their kids’ school employs and protects sexual predators,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said.“Schools that receive federal funding have a duty to protect students, report sexual misconduct honestly, and follow the law.”Los Angeles Unified School District has already been investigated over rules that allegedly shielded predatory teachers. An agreement between the school district and the teachers’ union guaranteed teachers accused of certain serious misconduct are reassigned — rather than immediately terminated or removed from student-facing positions — while investigations are pending.Investigations are also targeting three school districts in Georgia and three in Michigan, as well as districts across 12 other states.The post REPORT: 3 California School Districts Suspected of Shielding Teachers From Sexual Abuse Allegations as Feds Launch Nationwide Probe appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
