'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.

Stories & Grievances
Developmentally Disabled Child is Sexually Assaulted in School Auditorium, School Tells Parent Not to Call Police
Now administrators at Mifflin High School face the possibility of being charged along with students in the alleged March 9 assault at the school, which has a history of violence.
Girl said she was attacked -- school told dad not to call 911
BY NICK JULIANO, Chicago Sun-Times, April 17, 2005 LINK COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The girl was led by the arm behind a stage curtain in the auditorium. There, witnesses said, her lip was bloodied and she was sexually assaulted by a group of boys, an attack videotaped by one student and watched by more than a dozen others who came running as word spread. Within minutes, the developmentally disabled girl reported the alleged assault to a special education teacher, who said the girl ''looked dazed and confused and was crying.'' Administrators could be charged But -- in violation of state law -- principals didn't immediately notify police for fear of media attention. When the girl's father arrived, he was asked not to call 911. He ignored the request and called police. Now administrators at Mifflin High School face the possibility of being charged along with students in the alleged March 9 assault at the school, which has a history of violence. ''Even if you are following the common-sense measure, absolutely, none of this should have happened,'' district Supt. Gene Harris said Friday. The district said it will fire Principal Regina Crenshaw and has suspended three assistant principals. Police have not said who will face charges, but a city attorney said school officials could be prosecuted along with the alleged assailants. Witness statements to school investigators paint a picture of a slipshod response to the alleged assault, which came on the heels of other problems. Earlier in the day, administrators had to deal with an assault on a Somali student and a report that a student had a concealed weapon. In the alleged assault, police have not said how many boys may be charged but plan to give evidence to prosecutors this week. Charges could include delinquency counts of rape and pandering obscenity, spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio said. Copyright © The Sun-Times Company |
