The Department of Public Instruction seems to be running cover for child molesters and groomers.
Kudos to Madison’s Cap Times for committing a brazen act of journalism. The left-leaning newspaper’s year-long investigation found DPI “investigated” more than 200 teachers, aides, substitutes, and administrators “accused of sexual misconduct or grooming behaviors toward students” between 2018 and 2023.
…
The publication found at least 44 percent of the public education regulator’s license probes over the period have involved sexual misconduct or grooming allegations. Of the 461 teachers investigated over the period for all forms of misconduct, 207 kept their licenses and were allowed to continue to work with children in schools, the Cap Times reported.
In this case, it’s the teacher’s union that has the ‘regulator’ under its thumb. And the state superintendent didn’t even bother to show up to a hearing by the state legislature.
And of course, the latest head of the DPI is female.
The leftist Underly, who in April won a second term backed by all manner liberal cash and causes, has prioritized a DEI agenda (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in administration and in the classrooms. Top-down support for such “woke” programs have led to allegations of discrimination and racism in the name of “of social justice” and have driven the concept of “safe spaces” so far as to allow men to use girls bathrooms and showers.
Again, this shows the failure of women in positions of power as well as the failure that is government run education.
