• Accountability must prevail when institutional negligence endangers the vulnerable.
• Protecting individual rights requires a fearless pursuit of justice in our legal system.
• The integrity of our education system depends on rooting out corruption and abuse.

Reports suggest that administrators may have permitted a culture of abuse to flourish for years without proper intervention. Victims allege the school was well aware of the predator in their midst but failed to act.

“This whole school knew.”

“They enabled a culture of abuse for decades,” one victim reported to the press.

Prosecutors are now expanding their investigation to determine if staff members engaged in criminal conduct by covering up these heinous acts. Our society must ensure that those in positions of authority are held to the highest standards of the law.

Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
