My grandchildren attend school in MVWSD. Truly terrifying that this man has been allowed to return to work on a school campus in any capacity whatsoever. He was not found innocent, charges are still being pursued. Appalling and unconscionable.

I'm sorry, Barbara, but here in America people are innocent until proven guilty, do you don't have to be "found innocent."

Notwithstanding that, the fact that the police leaked "hate crime" charges to the press that they are now dropping should really make us all very concerned about how the MVPD conducts itself.

Not sure what you mean “police leaked” hate crimes charges. Criminal charges are always public unless they involve a minor and even then they’re eventually released.

Now, Cleave, we all know your big thing is defending the cops, but don't you think it's a big deal to attempt to ruin someone's life by telling the press they're being charged with a hate crime, and then go "Oops, nevermind." They issued a press release about it!

Innocent until proven guilty. This isn't the Soviet Union, where a single accusation was enough to ruin your life (and maybe your whole family's). On the other hand, I'm not so sure anymore.
