Reply to comment by thought_first in West Virginia students protest second day over reported sexual abuse incident by thedriverera

If there's some legal reason they can't expel them, at least separate them or put them in remote learning.

I'm in a different state, and I did read the article which said they were following federal procedures. But in my experience...kids can get kicked out of school over damn near anything. How they can't force them to do remote, or keep them in ISS or suspend until school board meeting...idk.

But personal story. My younger sister got drugged, molested, and filmed (which was then shared on instagram and the "whole" school saw it) by 2 boys when she was in 8th grade. My sister got suspended, the boys recieved no punishment because they deleted the video from their phone, which apparently means "no evidence" even though students and staff had saved the video. Schools really don't handle sexual assaults well.

Truth. I'm so sorry she went through that.

The school is lying. They were able to act against the students who walked out, just fine.

Hiding behind Title iX while also using Title IX controls to cover up everything. First, school officials will sit down with police investigating...scrub the report so no charges will be filed when sent to the prosecutor's office for review. When they announce no charges will be filed, then they'll pat themselves on the back and keep the kids in school.
