A kid punched my son in the back of the head. My son pushed him to the ground. The kids ran and told the teacher. Teacher: "did you knock him over?"
Son "Yes because he was punching me"
Teacher "is that true?"
Kid "no, I never touched him!"

My son got detention.

Once Trump got elected, that was the end of teaching my kids honesty is worth a shit in this country.

    Just like in real life, the general population has little regard for accuracy and is happy enough getting an answer delivered with confidence that fits into their personal world view. This predates the internet.

    There's also the fact that he also had to "apologize" for attempts to cover it up and make sure it didn't go public by pressuring victims (or had his manager doing it). Only apologized after someone finally did go public with evidence.

    THANK YOU. As a teacher, this guy made me rage hard. And even harder when older teachers who already hate technology latched on to it as an excuse. Show me evidence for fucks sake when middle school teachers are ALSO now teaching multiple subject areas, have way less prep time, the school has less money, are also responsible for live online grading and access to assignments.

    Also, I love fediverse. Rational mind heaven
