Preventing Sexual Assault in Schools: It Is up to Us
Shakeshaft, Charol
Phi Delta Kappan, v100 n2 p40-45 Oct 2018
In every state in the U.S., students have been victims of sexual abuse at the hands of teachers and other adults at schools. Charol Shakeshaft asks why educators, policy makers, and others connected with schools haven't done more to address this problem but have instead looked the other way, sometimes even allowing colleagues to quietly transfer to other schools. Suggesting that everyone is responsible for helping solve the problem, she suggests reforms at the federal, state, and school levels to prevent and respond to sexual abuse.
