A judge in Virginia has ruled that a teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student in class can press forward with a $40 million lawsuit.
Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.
Like the school district is going to be able to pay out $40 million.
Point being, the school district will shoulder all the consequences, or just declare bankruptcy, all at the expense of the taxpayers and the students and teachers that all of those taxes are supposed to be going to, while the actual people that made reckless and criminal decisions face almost no personal consequences.
While I agree that the individuals in the administration who touched the issue and failed to act should be at the very least fired for negligence resulting in serious bodily harm, I don’t think they did anything criminal. They made some poor decisions and a woman was hurt under their purview - they did not cause the woman to be shot.
Not in a civil suit. They were working in their position as the legal authority of the school, making decisions in that role and not as private citizens.
They were the school and the school is liable.
No, they need individual punishmemt, too. Same with cops. Same with business executives. They all hide behind their position and avoid personal consequences. Like the south park “we’re sorry” episode mocking BP?
We need to be holding individuals accountable when the institution let’s things happen. It’s the only real way to get bad people out of power.
Forget the school, the individuals in the administration are the ones that need to be sued.
No, they need individual punishmemt, too.
They were not saying as well but instead of.
Personally, I believe they should be barred from any position in education but that is not what I was replying to.
