Abstract | ""PASSING the TRASH" is the true story of a typical American community torn apart by a sex scandal involving their school Superintendent, underage girls, and teachers he supervised. A brave School Board member smelled a rat, hired a private investigator, and uncovered the Superintendent's early crime. The 30-year chronicle is brought to life through the voices of the victims, community members, and the lying seducer. "PASSING the TRASH" chronicles a teacher's sexual abuse of his student - and the school administrators' failure to report his crime early on and banish him from education. This is also a tale of sexual exploitation of subordinates in the school workplace by the same man who became a powerful and charismatic school Superintendent. The scandal of his relationship with teachers he supervised eventually circled back to his original crime from thirty years earlier - and landed him in jail. In both cases, the school environments were sexualized, authority figures lost respect, and children were harmed. There are multiple victims in this story: First, the individuals (whether child or adult) who were seduced and sexually used by a narcissistic con artist. Then, the entire community beyond those involved in the sexual misconduct: the victims' families, the seducer's family, the school districts where he was employed, and the communities who fell for his deception. This is a case study in how a predator operates. It is a documentary history of abuse, seduction, deception, corruption - and gullibility. The story is told in the voices of the parties involved in this uncivil war: school system emails, Facebook posts, statements at School Board meetings, proclamations, official school district documents, Michigan State Police reports, and court proceedings. This chronicle shows how a handful of brave people can expose a powerful predator and bring him to justice after years of deception. It is a warning to others and a call for action by school administrators and lawmakers. Includes resources for educators, suggestions for further reading, and hundreds of endnotes"--Provided by publisher. |
