Good for you!

Yes, it does, as long as The Economist lets me read an article or two without demanding I cough up for a subscription.  Thanks!

Same here for the extremely abusive and shithouse OB I encountered during complications I had post c-section. That shit is written down, submitted to the hospital’s legal department and patient representative department, and forever on her file. I did not have the financial or emotional resources to pursue actual…

Yes!

I’d love to read this article.

This is the same guy who said in an off-the-record interview (so his name wasn’t attached to the quote until after his death, but it is genuine):

Yeah, I went through them again this morning and the “ruining someone’s life” stuff was identical to the $hit we hear about not hurting boys who rape us because they have such bright futures. I re-read your initial post and you really hit the nail on the head with simply showing up for other kids; as in, don’t expect…

Vaguely reminiscent of Stephen Miller.

“I lie all the time and don’t care if the rubes get hurt.”

Ladies and gentlemen: the party of family values!

This. No one should be lighting pitch forks but giving a heads up about possible conflicts based on personal experience isn’t bad. Especially when your intentions are about protecting children and not some form of revenge. 

It’s so frustrating. You see stories like this where people are like “Don’t report it! It could ruin someone’s life! What if he’s different now?” meanwhile over on all the sexual assault stories it’s “How did they get away with it for so long?”

Agreed.  Schools at various levels need multiple, credible accounts of behavior before they can address it if they haven’t seen it themselves. 

I’ll bet! It finally gave you some kind of power over what happened.

I think it’s also worth nothing that LW said this was 8 years ago - if they meant they were 14 eight years ago, then that makes them and the bully 22 now. That’s still very young, very early-career for the teacher, and while people definitely change a lot between 14 and 22, they don’t always gain a lot of maturity,…

There are ass holes and then there are bullies who sexually harass and torment their special needs classmates. You are trivializing and bringing in hypotheticals to try and support you week ass argument that this behavior is what? Acceptable? Not serious, because this happened in high-school? Flawed logic and hyper-def…

There also seems to be a lot of “If he’s done it again, you would have heard about it, so you shouldn’t report it if you haven’t heard anything.” which is just an ouroboros of nothing ever getting reported.

Revenge would be demanding the man lose his job, with no proof of continued bad behavior.  Giving a heads up to the school is not revenge based, it is common sense based. The potential victims in this scenario are children with special needs- It is not unreasonable to go the extra mile to protect their well being…

And just a system in general! Maybe this guy has turned a new leaf, and that’s awesome. There will be other bullies of vulnerable kids though and knowing what got past them before could help prevent it from happening again.

That it? One guy says he’s moving to Sedona because he doesn’t like seeing the homeless and that’s her reason for running for governor?
