People being shitty to others for no reason?
Must be Wednesday.
Do you have less depressing news, Fuzzy? I'm trying to keep my blood pressure within safe ranges.

What I am not seeing in this article is proof. Innocent until proven guilty.

Well it said there was an investigation to be mounted. Unless of course that's what you want proof of.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 12:16 am What I am not seeing in this article is proof. Innocent until proven guilty.

One of the 7.5 billion humans alive today gave another of the 7.5 humans alive today a hard time. This is unfortunate, but I fail to see why it should be newsworthy.

Yeah, innocent until proven guilty. Do you have a problem with that fundamental right?Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 5:24 amOh my frelling gods.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 12:16 am What I am not seeing in this article is proof. Innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, an investigation is pending. So automatically believing the kid over the teacher as we seem to be doing is wrong.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 1:30 amWell it said there was an investigation to be mounted.

I render this story rather plausible. Not like, aliens might well exist in the universe, but like, yeah there's a lot of people pushing their not-so-progressive thoughts on what a person is doing in a bathroom.
Anyways, it's not a witch hunt thread. This might turn out to be a lark, but this is more to remind that these attitudes both personally and institutionally persist.

The official is accused of going into a restroom and demanding to see a student’s crotch. This sort of situation is precisely one where automatically believing the child over the alleged sex offender is standard procedure; treating the perpetrator as guilty, or at least best suspended and under surveillance, during investigation is standard procedure.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 12:16 am What I am not seeing in this article is proof.

Not doing so is diminishing the nature and severity of the accusations.
