Ashly McGlone, from the Voice of San Diego, reports the “student … was having a sexual relationship with a teacher … when school officials confronted her during her senior year … they were accusatory … They blamed her for protecting him. Even though it was obvious she was troubled, they did not treat her as a victim but as an accomplice….”
“District officials transferred Sandknop (the teacher) from La Costa Canyon High to Carmel Valley Middle School … following an investigation into his relationship with a student … He remained in the school system for five more years.” This is another example of “Pass The Trash.”
