The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

US Department of Justice Files Motion to Intervene in Title lX Sexual Harassment Case Against Rhinebeck Central School District
Accountability + Consequences = Results
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2004 WWW.USDOJ.GOV CRT (202) 514-2008 TDD (202) 514-1888 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FILES MOTION TO INTERVENE IN TITLE IX SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE AGAINST RHINEBECK CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT LINK WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Justice Department today announced that it has moved to intervene in a sexual harassment case involving allegations that a former New York high school principal sexually harassed former students and a school employee. The motion to intervene and proposed complaint were filed today in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Rhinebeck Central School District violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The Justice Department seeks to intervene the May 2003 lawsuit, AB et al v. Rhinebeck Central School District and Thomas Mawhinney, filed by four current and former high school students and a school employee. "No student should have to endure sexual harassment while trying to obtain an education," said Assistant Attorney General R. Alexander Acosta. "Our effort to intervene in this case demonstrates that the Department of Justice will not hesitate to enforce the law when we find evidence of unlawful sex discrimination in our nation's schools." The complaint alleges that Mawhinney sexually harassed the four plaintiff students as well as other female high school students during his 10 year tenure as principal and that the school district violated Title IX by acting with deliberate indifference to known sexual harassment of students. Specifically, the government alleged that Mawhinney created a hostile educational environment for female students, that the school district had actual notice of Mawhinney's sexual harassment of female students, and that the district did not take adequate corrective steps to address the problem. If permitted to intervene, the Department will seek to prohibit school district officials and employees from all unlawful discrimination against school-age children on the basis of sex. The Justice Department also seeks to have the district ordered to develop and timely implement a comprehensive plan that will ensure a discrimination-free educational environment for all its students. Enforcement of federal education discrimination laws is a priority of the Civil Rights Division.
