The Doc tried it on Chris Webber, but he called a quick timeout.Fine. Investigate it to the max, but how come you never hear of this happening from any star player? It’s always minor sports or lesser accomplished football players and the suits are ultimately brought by people with an axe to grind (and typically need money) and not until after any of the accused are DEAD. I’m all for investigating completely, but ultimately it comes down to the word of a live person who kept it hushed until the accused died versus the now dead accused, which makes it look like a shakedown and a hope for a large settlement.
Wake me up when Jim Abbott, Rick Leach, Phil Hubbard, Roy Tarpley, Glen Rice, Jim Harbaugh, Tom Brady, Desmond Howard, etc., claim the doctor stuck his finger in their cans for no reason.
She estimated that about 290,000 students were victimized between 1991 and 2000.[5] A 2004 editorial column in The Washington Post,noted the Educator Sexual Misconduct report was the first analysis of its kind. She studied nearly 900 documents to complete her analyzed research. Citing the Times Picayune,however, the Post also noted that Shakeshaft's report had been criticized by two large teacher organizations, for not separating sexual harassment of students and actual molestation, lumping them both together, claiming that makes the problem seem worse than it is.[6] The editor added,"... the physical sexual abuse of students in [public] schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by [Catholic] priests."[4]
A 2002 report in The New York Times quoted Shakeshaft as having written,"The fact that this report doesn't make those distinctions doesn't mean it isn't valid; it does mean that more research is needed. In fact, the report itself points out that there has been no nationally financed effort to collect data on sexual misconduct in schools."
In 2007, a report in The Washington Postnoted, "It's a dynamic so common it has its own nicknames: 'passing the trash' or the 'mobile molester.'" In addition, "Maine...has a law that keeps offending teachers' cases secret" and that"Only 1 percent of the cases did superintendents follow up to ensure that molesting teachers did not continue teaching elsewhere. In 54 percent, superintendents accepted the teachers' resignations or retirements. Of the 121 teachers removed this way, administrators knew for certain that 16 percent resumed teaching in other districts... Moving molesting teachers from school district to school district is a common phenomenon. And in only 1 percent of the cases do superintendents notify the new school district. The term ’passing the trash’ is the preferred jargon among educators."[7]
The report also said, "Laws in several states require that even an allegation of sexual misconduct be reported to the state departments that oversee teacher licenses. But there's no consistent enforcement, so such laws are easy to ignore. School officials fear public embarrassment as much as the perpetrators do, Shakeshaft says. They want to avoid the fallout from going up against a popular teacher. They also don't want to get sued by teachers or victims, and they don't want to face a challenge from a strong union.""in Hawaii, no educators were disciplined by the state in the five years the AP examined, even though some teachers there were serving sentences for various sex crimes during that time. They technically remained teachers, even behind bars."[8]
