So much for the policy of not naming arrested suspects. How long did it last? 2-3 weeks? Longer?

If you read the article where they explain they won't name arrested suspects, they give exceptions:

The policy cites four exceptions in which the name of an arrested person will be named in a news story:

• The arrestee is a prominent person in the community, a public safety employee or a school employee.

One count of suspicion? Guilty until proven innocent?

I am disappointed in the comments so far.

Dear Student Who Reported This Teacher,

Thank you for being brave. You have maybe prevented more kids from this kind of treatment. Keep sticking up for yourself!

love,
A Parent of other students

I too applaud the student who reported this appalling and disgraceful conduct. That "teacher" should be named and shamed. I don't understand why this person is on paid leave. He should be fired immediately. He should probably be under arrest. We trust teachers with our children and when they are discovered to be be a danger to our children, they need to be removed.
