Illinois 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.
