"Exposed" is probably a bad word to use here.
There were almost 500 sexual misconduct complaints again public school teachers in just Chicago in 2022 when not all kids were back in school. There's something fundamentally broken there.

- drewbug01 3y agoIllinois Policy is a rather biased source. If you read section 4 of the CPS report they reference, you’ll find some interesting stats that Illinois Policy neglected to highlight: - The investigative unit in question does not have discretion over what it must open a case for; they must open a case and investigate every claim even when said claims are submitted anonymously, or without evidence, even without names attached. - That same investigative unit recently had its role expanded to include broader, non-sexual violations of the CPS guidelines for staff/student interactions. - Over the past four years, it has only substantiated 300 policy violations, of which only 16 resulted in criminal charges. So … suffice it to say Illinois Policy is selling a pretty slanted narrative there. They aren’t a neutral party. The actual report paints a hell of a lot less damning picture. It is extremely misleading to say that 500 sexual misconduct allegations were leveled against teachers in one year.
